Global leader in high-accuracy, software-based wireless location solutions caps successful year with business expansion to support growing demand

Polaris Wireless, the global leader in high-accuracy, software-based wireless location solutions, today announced it achieved a major increase in sales bookings in 2011, setting a company record and capping a successful year in which the Silicon Valley company achieved several significant milestones, including a year-over-year quadrupling of sales bookings and revenue increase of approximately 30%. This sales performance positions the company for a significant revenue increase in 2012 and 2013, driven by aggressive growth for Polaris Wireless location solutions across the globe. More than twenty U.S. wireless carriers, six managed services partners, and fourteen international deployments now rely on Polaris Wireless location solutions to enable emergency call applications, lawful and mass location surveillance, and other location-based services.

"In 2011, with best-in-class, field proven products, Polaris Wireless accelerated its efforts at becoming the leading provider of high-accuracy wireless location solutions for mission critical applications," said Manlio Allegra, president, CEO and co-founder of Polaris Wireless. "We have surpassed the competition and enlisted leading global companies as partners, providing a strong base from which we will continue growing in 2012 and beyond."

Polaris Wireless achieved several significant milestones in 2011, including:

Several significant customer contracts, for multi-million dollar deployments of the Polaris Wireless Altus and OmniLocate location surveillance product suite. The deals represent a major increase in Polaris Wireless’ international business, in areas that are increasingly vital to the global efforts against crime and terrorism.
A strategic partnership with CanvasM Technologies, Tech Mahindra's VAS subsidiary and part of the US $14.4 Billion Mahindra Group, to introduce the first high-accuracy, network based wireless location solution to the Indian market. This followed the successful completion of field trials to prove compliance with India’s Department Of Telecom (DoT) May 2011 mandate for location determination. The trials were conducted over a period of several weeks in Bangalore to demonstrate the effectiveness of Polaris WLS in urban, suburban, and indoor environments. Polaris Wireless is the only location solutions provider to exceed the DoT mandate in all categories.
