GloPos's software-only positioning technology makes all mobile phones location aware – outdoors, indoors, and even underground. GloPos Technology requires only a cellular network to make all mobile phones location aware. No additional hardware like GPS or W-LAN is required on a mobile device for achieving accurate positioning. The company’s patent-pending, self-learning algorithms calculate an accurate position fix to within 1to 40 m even in places where no W-LAN access points are available or no GPS can be used (i.e. in shopping malls, subways, underground parking, airports, sports arenas, and exhibition centres). It works wherever cellular network coverage is available. The technology does not consume any extra battery life while operating because cell information is already being used to stay connected. It enables longer device usage versus GPS and W-LAN, allowing battery power to be used for more advanced applications and driving more powerful processors. Mikael Vainio, CEO, says that by making all phones location aware, GloPos Technology is set to revolutionise the indoor positioning and social location market, including mobile search and personalised mobile advertising.
