"Aloqa can revolutionize the way people use mobile phones by making it a lot easier to find anything on the go - a restaurant, a friend or tracking a child. We take away the pain associated with conventional browser based mobile search and have resolved the major issues facing location-aware services – battery and bandwidth usage, and privacy. Wellington Partners has understood this potential from day one and is now supporting us wholeheartedly in realizing this tremendous market opportunity. "

Always be a local with this
innovative
mobile service
Aloqa is a free mobile service that proactively notifies users about interesting places, services, events and people close to where they are. In effect, Aloqa makes location relevant content from publishers (business directories, travel sites, social networks) not just available but relevant to users when they most need it, without the user having to actively think about it.
In addition to the consumer service, Aloqa has also licensed its platform to several customers - Social Networks, Dating Sites, Automotive OEMs, Carriers and Network Operators, FriendFinder and Child Tracking services. The product will be deployed on up to 500,000 PNDs (portable navigation devices) starting Q2 2009.
