MPOS is designed to help mobile operators make personalised recommendations to individual consumers using advanced profiling techniques.

The system uses demographic, contextual and behavioural profiling to enable one-to-one mobile advertising.

Qualcomm will continue to offer MPOS as a standalone product through Xiam as a wholly owned subsidiary.

The firm will also offer the system as part of its core technologies and products to operators and brands with subscriber intelligence and personalisation tools.
