| A Revolution in Indoor Positioning Technology |
GloPos is a revolutionary technology that makes any mobile device location-aware, without the need for GPS and W-LAN. It is the first technology in the world that truly enables location applications to show the exact position of any cell phone indoors and even underground.
GloPos makes it possible to track devices outside and inside buildings with high accuracy, anywhere in the coverage area of any cellular network. With GloPos and just an ordinary cell phone, users can find their way around and locate their friends and favourite places, wherever they are.
GloPos needs only a cellular network to operate. Other indoor positioning technologies require at least W-LAN or GPS capable devices.
| The Business Opportunity |
GloPos truly kick-starts the indoor positioning and social location market, enabling brands and businesses to launch the location-based mobile search and advertising market to a whole new level.
The technology will also enable mobile device vendors to offer indoor positioning to any mobile phone, thus expanding the market massively.
| June 2010, GloPos Indoor Positioning Accuracy Tests conducted by VTT, The Technical Research Centre of Finland |
GloPos, the developer of a software-only positioning technology that makes all mobile phones location aware -- outdoors, indoors, and even underground – has confirmed an indoor positioning accuracy of 7.7 to 12.5 meters in an independent test of its software conducted by VTT, The Technical Research Center of Finland.
The stationary indoor and underground tests show that GloPos is capable of non-filtered average positioning accuracy of 15.1-23.9 meters. 75% of the measurements present an average position accuracy of 7.7-12.5 meters. With filtering, the indoor accuracy of GloPos technology is as good as the outdoor accuracy in an urban environment with a normal GPS embedded in mobile phones. When comparing with state-of-the-art cell positioning (Google Maps) the average accuracy is at least two times better and in some cases even ten times better (indoors).
“This successful test lays the groundwork for making all mobile phones location aware and opens up exciting, new opportunities in the personal navigation, social location, mobile search and personalized mobile advertising marketplaces,” said Mikael Vainio, CEO.
