BOSTON, Nov. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- RedSky Technologies, Inc., the leading provider of automated E911 solutions to the enterprise, announced today that they have joined the BEA Partner Program. Joining the program will allow RedSky to utilize the BEA WebLogic(R) SIP Server as the platform framework for the RedSky Location Information Server, which is designed to deliver location-based services, such as enhanced 911 (E911), while helping to reduce server and administrative costs. The announcement was made at Mobile Internet World.

"Service providers are looking for location solutions that can help them provide accurate location information for emergency services, as well as for revenue-generating location-based services," said Mike McHugh, vice president and general manager of BEA WebLogic Communications Platform, BEA Systems. "The powerful combination of the BEA WebLogic SIP Server and the RedSky Location Information Server can offer providers a robust, state-of-the-art integrated software solution."

RedSky's location-based services are key components of the next-generation communications service-oriented architectures (SOAs) that are increasingly deployed by enterprises and service providers to enable new network services. For example, with growing user demand for mobility, providers are responding by rolling out mobile broadband solutions that enable users to "take their desktop on the road."

The RedSky Location Information Server provides automatic, real-time location determination, conveyance and update capabilities that support a wide range of mobile devices and platforms. The Location Information Server also ensures that relevant back-end Operational Support/Business Support Systems (OSS/BSS) and devices are updated with the context-aware real-time user location data needed to enable emerging location-enabled applications.

"The BEA WebLogic SIP Server meets our requirements for a standards-compliant, advanced technology platform with an extensive track record for interoperability with market-leading solutions such as RedSky's Location Information Server," said Bill Mertka, vice president of Product Management, RedSky Technologies. "BEA's reliability and strong market position make them an ideal RedSky solutions partner."

The RedSky Location Information Server also will enable next-generation location-enhanced services that rely upon location information to enhance other applications and drive adoption and revenue for enterprises and service providers.
