Based in Chengdu, Sichuan province, Great Wall is a leading software developer and application provider for wireless phones, with experience in developing high-quality applications for QUALCOMM's BREW® solution, location based technologies such as QUALCOMM's gpsOne, WAP, MMS and Java. Great Wall's highly innovative service portfolio includes City Online, a location based service that offers city maps, travel assistance for points of interest and yellow pages; Business Travel Companion, which offers an online travel package and hotel reservations using a mobile handset; and Xin Gang Dating, a wireless dating and community service.
