Our Projects vs. Competitors
SRC Project – Local Positioning System StartJanuary, 2003 Goal - 2-D indoor positioning system based on like Spread Spectrum Technology - required accuracy - 2 meters indoor Current Status - second generation small-cost, small size prototype development - algorithm improvement to meet the system specification Possible Problems - insufficient accuracy of positioning due FCC bandwidth limitation, possible value may be two three times worse Competitors (existing systems) - development started in the middle of 90th - similar system already on the market - declared accuracy – less then 3 meters in open space with three more times bandwidth - BS connected with server by wire – high installation cost
Strategy and Direction for Future Development
Core Technologies: like Spread Spectrum Technology Current - good HW, SW and algorithm know-how in like Spread Spectrum Technology received during LPS and E-LPS projects implementation - fully internal know-how: - two patent application in 2003, - three patent application are planned for a lot of experiments with real system prototype and deep understanding of the physical nature of the technology - developed HW and SW allow make testing the technology in any environment Direction - finalizing experiment to define physical positioning accuracy limit with current parameters of the system - possible participation in INCITS activities and changing the system parameters to meet the RTLS standard - to define and develop possibility to combine this technology with UWB technology to increase accuracy of positioning - to find exact place for the technology on the market of security system and services
Future Project: like Technology 2005 Commercial Project E-LPS system commercialization - transfer technology to S1 engineers - supporting commercialization process - making special testing SW and procedures - etc Advanced Project E- LPS system with UWB measurement features Goal - to increase positioning accuracy using UWB signals for pseudo- distance measurements Approach – use UWB technology for measurements and like technology for wireless communication and synchronization Deliverables – the system prototype with sub-meter accuracy
