Skyhook Wireless and XPS 2.0 have announced its formal launch in Europe. The launch includes a massive coverage expansion throughout the UK and Europe and the establishment of sales and operational offices in the region. Skyhook's launch will be showcased at tonight's Mobile Monday London event, "Enabling location based applications."

Skyhook has already mapped over 16 million Wi-Fi access points in Europe, and now provides coverage to over 130 million people in Europe.

Skyhook's fleet of 200 European data collection specialists has driven over 750,000 kilometers to date and continues to expand coverage every day.

"Skyhook's European expansion is an important step towards our goal of delivering consumer-ready location across any environment, indoors or outside, in rural areas or downtown, in Berlin or Boston," said Ted Morgan, CEO of Skyhook Wireless.

European application providers are taking advantage of Skyhook's European expansion. UK-based BuddyPing and Rummble and Dublin-based Locle are integrating Skyhook's software into their applications.

By working with Skyhook's positioning system, these cutting-edge mobile social networking and search applications are responding to the consumer demand for fast, accurate, and reliable location determination in all environments.
