Weene adventure come to an end

Posted In: , , . By Karim2k

The Tunisian Office of topography and cartography (under the Ministry of Defense) has released an official statement stating that the Court of Appeal of Tunis ordered permanently Orascom Telecom Tunisie (Tunisiana) and Maghreb and NGI International not to market the solution GPS Weenee.
The Office of Topography communiqué concludes with a warning (which reminds us of consonance thought over time), which speaks volumes about his determination to enforce this ruling.
Now, given this ruling, the Tunisians may benefit from the GPS only solution they have general public. Note that GPS is available in all supermarkets in the developed and equipped a large number of cars.

The GPS allows motorists and pedestrians to easily recognize their way without resorting to traditional maps.
As for the GPS Tunisian Weenee, it offers a multitude of new services with 40,000 km of roads, highways, streets, avenues, boulevards, etc. throughout the country, and a large number of service centers such as banks , restaurants, archaeological sites, etc..
According to reliable sources, the Maghreb NGI plans to close shop in Tunisia (although it employs more employees) to offer its high-tech solutions in Morocco.

Tunisiana have introduced -since a couple of months- its bright new born: a GPS navigation system that knows how to into Tunis and the big cities through the most commons highways, it's claiming that the service is going to cover the whole cities small by small.
Its main functions are:
• Coverage: Greater Tunis and other major Cities (Sousse, Sfax)
• Guiding vocal guidance and symbolic
• Display 2D and 3D mapping
• Multilingual: Tunisian, German, English, Arabic, Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese
• Research Points of Interest proximity, sorted by distance
• Searching for addresses throughout the Greater Tunis
• Automatic route
• Calculation of routes optimized (time / distance)
• Favorites and recent addresses registered
• Notifications of places of interest (hotels, restaurants, service stations, etc.).



Being a leader in the domain of the telecommunications have made this gadget possible in Tunisia through a collaboration of a local French company, the GPS equipment used is TamTam getting an excellent satellite coverage as Tunisia is located in the spot that covers Western Europe (France, Italy, Spain).



The product is sold 900 TND (About 800 USD)once time subscription purchase and available in the major of Tunisia sales points.

 

As part of its new services -and may be in order stay up to date with Tunisiana- Tunisie Telecom has unveiled a new GPS Tracking service for enterprise customers seeking to increase efficiency, security and management of vehicle fleet despite Tunisiana Weenee, this system is about monitoring rather than Tunisiana's drivers localization and directions services.

Beside that the service was widely offered by a number of companies with satellite real time tracking, I think that the service is just an other answer from Tunisie Telecom to his competitor Tunisiana to be always in the race avoiding a totally blind imitation as usual.
