The web application sits on a dedicated server we have setup for OTG communications and it is capable of handling GPS updates from several handsets via GPRS / 3G / Wifi. Our performance benchmarks show that over 10,000 requests / second were processed by our application to handle the GPS updates. The server also handles messages between friends and also directions to be processed by the server. We have also built a mobile friendly version of the website to be accessible from older mobile phones. The website also features a fully functional and unique ad network capable of broadcasting messages to all members who are within a specific area at any time of the day.
