GloPos has launched its software-only positioning technology that makes all mobile phones location aware, whether they are outdoors, indoors, or even underground. GloPos Technology requires only a cellular network to make all mobile phones location-aware. There’s no need for additional GPS or W-LAN hardware on the mobile on a mobile device to achieve accurate positioning.
GloPos' patent-pending, self-learning algorithms calculate an accurate position fix to within 1-40 metres, even in places where no W-LAN access points are available, and places where GPS cannot be usedm, such as subways, underground car parks, airports and exhibition centres. All the technology needs is cellular network coverage. In addition, GloPos Technology does not consume any extra battery life while operating, as cell information is already being used to stay connected. Gartner predicts that local-based targeting will be one of the main types of mobile marketing set to take off, with the improvement of GPS technology making location-targeting more appealing to marketers
