Their Sparkle platform, licensed by Tier 1 global wireless carriers, is today pre-loaded on tens of millions of mobile devices. Among their many innovations is Sparkle’s ability to allow for high precision motion detection and geo-fencing, with minimal battery impact. Location Labs holds more than 80 patents, including the definitive patent on geo-fencing and on crowd-sourcing location-based context. Location Labs's Safely consumer division, launched in 2011, focuses on using these innovative technologies to create mobile safety solutions for families. In today’s mobile, always-on world, a phone is a safety net, a lifeline between parent and child. But a phone is also a powerful—and dangerous—distraction. More than half of kids who have phones admit to using them during class or while driving. Parents feel stuck between protecting their kids with mobile phones or from them. Safely tools let them do both, by turning mobile phones into digital parenting devices. Products and Partners In partnership with Tier 1 global wireless carriers like AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Telefónica, Safely builds and provides subscription-based services that make it easy for parents to keep tabs on their kids, set limits on phone use and instill healthy digital habits for life. To date, the flagship Safely Family Locator service has enabled more than one billion location safety checks, across millions of children’s phones. And our newest service, Safely Phone Controls, sends millions of notifications per month to parents who want to monitor how often and with whom kids are communicating. Location Labs's suite of products includes: - Family Locator, which enhances the connection a phone provides by GPS finding kids on a map and alerting parents when they arrive home safe or are out past curfew. Available today as AT&T FamilyMap, Sprint Family Locator and T-Mobile FamilyWhere. - Drive Safe, which eliminates distractions by auto-locking a phone while a car is in motion. With Drive Safe engaged, incoming texts and calls get an auto-reply, and parents receive an alert if kids disable the service. Available today as Sprint DriveFirst and T-Mobile DriveSmart Plus. - Phone Controls, which lets parents put a stop to texting during school and family time. Parents can see how often and with whom their kids are communicating, then automatically block texting, calling and app use during pre-set times. Available today as Sprint Mobile Controls. Attention and Accolades Location Labs and Safely have been featured by Reuters, MSNBC, TechCrunch, GigaOM, Fortune, All Things Digital, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and Ubergizmo, and PC World magazine praised Safely products, saying they allow parents to be “guardian angels” for their children. Location Labs and Safely have been recognized by the Inc. 500|5000 list of America’s Fastest Growing Private Companies (2010 and 2011); Entrepreneur magazine, which named Location Labs as one of the 100 “most brilliant” companies in 2011; the 2011 OnMobile list of 100 Top Private Companies; and Deloitte’s 2011 Technology Fast 500.
