The HP OpenCall Position Determination Entity (PDE) is a location information service platform that controls and manages the overall resources required to calculate a mobile terminal's position. The node is the centerpiece of a location-aware network infrastructure and is the market leader for both Control Plane and User Plane variants in the Americas.
