acquisitionTelecommunication Systems (Nasdaq: TSYS) has acquired inertial-navigation provider Loctronix for an undisclosed amount in an effort to help first responders locate distressed individuals and public safety personnel, Urgent Communications reported Friday.

Sameer Vuyyuru, group vice president and general manager for the TCS location business unit, said the company intends for the acquisition to address first responders’ needs for a radio-frequency-independent navigation system, Donny Jackson writes.

TCS plans to combine its offering with the Loctronix technology and market demonstration products in October.

“In addition to expanding the breadth of our current location product offering, the Loctronix assets will provide clear differentiators in device location, and increase our market and revenue opportunities—both for commercial and public safety applications, ” added Jay Whitehurst, TCS senior vice president and president of the commercial software group.
