How does Seeker Wireless’s technology differ from other location technologies like Network Cell-ID and A-GPS?
From an accuracy perspective Seeker Wireless’s technology fits between Network Cell-ID and A-GPS in that our technology is up to 50 times more accurate than Network Cell-ID solutions, and outperforms A-GPS solutions indoors, in city canyons and in certain weather conditions. From a scalability perspective, Seeker Wireless’s solution is totally scalable because network traffic is minimised by elimination of handset polling used in Network Cell-ID and A-GPS. From a cost perspective, there are no additional costs for extra chips in handsets (Seeker Wireless’s solution runs on the handset SIM card or in the handset memory), and there are no additional costs in network infrastructure add-ins or modifications, which are required for Network Cell-ID and E-OTD. Seeker Wireless is also working on hybrid A-GPS solutions that have the benefit of Seeker Wireless’s high accuracy technology where GPS doesn’t work or provides poor resolution.
