Abstract
LBS in China began in 2001, but development was limited by factors including terminal products, maps and demand. In 2007, LBS were still in the preliminary development phases. China, however, has invested in 3G network construction on a large scale, and 3G networks will significantly improve the quality of mobile communications. 3G networks and terminals will support more precise positioning technologies. Furthermore, China has more than 500 million mobile communications users. These factors provide opportunities for large-scale LBS development. This report analyzes the LBS development outlook in China by examining key companies active in this sector.
