Dear Stavros,
The Location Platform was deprecated due to the open source policy. There’s no other GE carrying out the same functionality (integrated with the mobile network), although the context broker geographical queries features might be enough in many cases. Check:

Sergio.

Asunto: Re: [Fiware-soulfi-coaching] myCultureTrip & Location Platform GE integration

Dear Stavros,

in our perspective it’s ok not using Location GE as long as there are other relevant and core enablers used.
If you want you may present your current project architecture to our FIWARE coach (fiware-soulfi-coaching@lists.fi-ware.org<fiware-soulfi-coaching@lists.fi-ware.org>) and look for additional advices/ inputs regarding your development.
regards,

Dear Mr Varandas,

In the myCultureTrip project that we are currently developing we were planning to use the Location Platform GE.

However we realised that the enabler is not listed under the generic enablers in the FIWARE catalogue anymore so we tried to track the developer. We were directed to Thales Alenia Space (Mr. Challamel Remi) and they told us that the enabler is not any more supported internally in TAS-F and the product and its IPR had been tranfered to their sister company 'Telespazio'. We were forwarded a Telespazio contact and after some email exchanges and conference calls, we realised that they are going to comercialize the product and also use it to participate in H2020 projects.

This means that this is not an FIWARE enabler anymore and in order for us to use it in the future, we might be requested to purchase a license.

We have researched in the FIWARE catalogue but there is no other similar enabler that can cover the functionality we indented to do with Location Platform GE. We have already brought the issue to our coach (Mrs Maria Augusta Mancini) and she thought it shouldn't be a problem not to integrate with one enabler since we have already integrated with the other six enablers we planned.

Do you think it will be a problem for DOTSOFT or for SOULFI, if we use one enabler less than the ones we originally planned to? For the record we have already tracked other ways to verify a users location using third party tools so that won't be a problem for our project.

Looking forward to your answer at your earlier convenience,

Have a great weekend,

Regards,

Stavros

Dear Sergio,

Thanks for your reply,

We are already using Context Orion as PubSub and the POI Data Provider for
that purpose (performing the spatial queries). To tell you the truth we
never though the Context Orion could be used like that
For the location verification issue we are working with local providers and
components they offer to investigate a possible integration.

Thank you for the consultation over Context Orion

Dear Nuno,

Thanks for the advise. We will reach the coaches if there are issues
regarding FIWARE integration but so far we are going very well. We are very
close to finish with our MVP and are already working on some early feedback
we received from users.

Coaching is always welcome ofcourse

Thanks
