TCS Supplies LBS Infrastructure to Cricket Communications

TeleCommunication Systems announced today a multi-year contract with U.S. wireless operator Cricket Communications to provide a fully managed location-based services infrastructure. TCS will manage hardware, software, installation, scalability, maintenance and around-the-clock operation for Cricket.

"Cricket is known for respecting its customers' wallets, so it is no surprise that they would adopt this model to support its location-based services, a market expected by Frost and Sullivan to grow to $1.6 billion in the U.S. by the end of 2015," said Joe Hannan, group vice president of location products for TCS.

Cricket Communications is a subsidiary of Leap Wireless (NASDAQ: LEAP) which specializes in unlimited, flat rate services with no long term commitments. Cricket is serving approximately 5.8 million customers. Cricket Navigator, a voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation solution has been powered by TCS since April 2010.
