GPS Real time location is playing vital role in people lives through smart devices such as mobile and watches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These devices are facilitating the world in various fields, especially in Health and fitness sector. One of the major drawbacks of these devices are sluggish and incorrect positioning. As well as, their fast draining of batteries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Above all, people are still learning and trying to get the optimized benefits from these devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FocalPoint UK Based startup is building software<\/a> based solution for more precise positioning for navigation focused on location tracking smartphone apps for running and sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FocalPoint announced funding round of $17 M for the purpose to complete their product development<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This software supports up to 4G and in future it will support 5G as well as WIFI signals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Company has released first version for commercial deployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Software will also support the navigation services like transportation and fleet management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Company is claiming, they are enhancing GPS Security. This startup initiated in Cambridge University and in series C investment $23 M at the completion of product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scott Pomerantz was appointed as CEO of Company last year. Two major investors Gresham House and Molten Ventures have given the funding in this round, confirmed by CEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of large US automobile brands is showing interest to become a strategic investor in FocalPoint<\/a>, mentioned by Scott Pomerantz CEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technical Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Algorithms are being designed to take care about the direction of satellite signals. By understanding the satellite signals. The benefits of understanding is it will give the precise location of smart device as well as it helps satellite signal spoof to appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is achieved by switching to the band that uses less power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said that \u201cbetter-performing signals have always more computational cost\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He claims they can make lower quality, lower battery intensive signal better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are other ways to make signals better but they are more expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Satellite employs two signals 1.high quality 2. Lower quality<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Higher quality need higher computation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military antennas can access these signals<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are claiming they are providing military grade features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also said these antennas cost $10,000 for each antenna. It need 100 of antennas in each region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
