[Admin]

Sprint Nextel unveiled a location-based offering that allows businesses to track fleets and monitor workers in the field.

The newly merged carrier launched Sprint Precision Locator, a Web-based application that delivers interactive maps, schedule information and workforce location history. The service includes up to 50 application-to-worker text messages per month and can determine whether devices have been turned off.

Location-based application developer WaveMarket partnered with Sprint Nextel for the offering, which also uses Microsoft MapPoint Web Service, an open-standard, location-based development platform.
