Mobile Networks And New Avenues For Advertising

New mobile phone are coming out faster and faster. Fresh new apps ideas are being developed into full fledged applications dealing with different streams of life. As apps catch on and the Smartphone revolution becomes ever stronger, a new phenomenon is emerging in the world of advertising and marketing.

There are new opportunities for advertising on mobile networks and various platforms which have suddenly become available for marketing and advertising. Apps that run online on mobile networks often have adverts either embedded in them, or can show up while the app is loading, or between the app.

Some free gaming apps have advertisements embedded in the games, and the ads are part of the game environment; in fact, companies often develop and create apps for the purpose of advertising. Today apps and mobile networks provide a cost effective advertising platform to companies, but this is not limited only to businesses and corporations.

An increasing number of celebrities are developing their own apps for their fans. This allows fans to remain updated at all times. MySpace, Twitter and Facebook are no longer enough, and having a personal mobile app is definitely a feather in a celebrities’ cap!

Research has shown that mobile advertising gains a significantly high positive response from users. Mobile network advertising is not just a passing fad but something that is backed by fact and here to stay.

• Consultancy on the applications and exploitation of marine remote sensing,
• High quality marine statistics and climatology,
• Real-time sea-state monitoring from space delivered to ships at sea,
• Training programmes world-wide.

Some of the problem areas recently tackled by us including ongoing programmes, are:

• Calibration of radar altimeters on the ERS-1, ERS-2 and ENVISAT satellites,
• Statistical data on the occurrence of the highest wave at an offshore site or along a shipping route anywhere in the world,
• The prevalence of oil slicks in summer off a tourist beach in the mediterranean,
• Seasonal cycles in the vertical migration of nutrients along a coastline, and their dependence on marine weather patterns,
• A model of sea level changes around Britain's coastline over the last decade,
• The design of an easy-access coastal information system containing data derived from the satellite record,
• Accessibility of environmental information of coastal zones by NATO navies,
• Trends in global climate change revealed in the middle of the Atlantic by satellite observations repeated over a decade.

The latest venture is the design of a system of dedicated microsats that will deliver observations of storm location and intensity in 'real-time' to forecasting centres and ships at sea.

We have longer experience in the field of creating useful marine products from raw satellite data than any company in Europe, and this is reflected in the number of Training Workshops it has been asked to organise around the world.

• We are completely current with the programmes and aspirations of all the major space agencies and we are a leading promoter of 'real-time' constellations.
  
  
• No organisation, whose interest lies in the sea, can afford to remain ignorant of the increasingly relevant role of satellite surveillance to its operations.
