SMAC Signs GPS Business Cooperation Agreement with Greek Company to Prevent COVID-19 Spread

[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] Smac announced on the 14th that it has signed an agreement with the Greek company GET (Geospatial Enabling Technologies) for a joint project on a satellite navigation device (GPS) tracking solution to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19). Through this business cooperation agreement, they are preparing to launch the GPS Tracking service targeting Greece and Cyprus, and the two companies are conducting technical consultations for this purpose.

Founded in 2006, GET is a Greek GIS specialized IT company that has carried out a total of over 400 projects in 8 countries. Based on geographic information analysis technology, it develops software and supplies it to numerous European public institutions and private companies beyond Greece. Through business cooperation with Smac, GET plans to actively expand its business targeting government and public institutions in Greece and Cyprus.

The GPS Tracking solution is a mobile and web forensic solution-based technology that analyzes personal location information on mobile and web servers. With the prior consent of the mobile phone owner, it is possible to track past movement routes, check data by time and date, and verify the time stayed or the number of visits at a specific location, all in real-time within 3 minutes based on the past 7 days.

A Smac official said, “Domestically, we are promoting a public pilot service of the GPS Tracking solution targeting local governments and public institutions nationwide,” and added, “Through this business cooperation agreement with overseas ICT companies, we will supply a specialized ‘infectious disease movement tracking system’ not only to Greece but also to other European countries, contributing to the prevention of the spread of infectious diseases such as COVID-19.”
