Tracking & location

Tracking and location systems depend on two key elements: sensing technology to measure location and motion; and statistical algorithms to make sense of these often noisy and disparate measurements.

With deep expertise in both disciplines, we’re not tied to any particular technology. Using a systematic, scientific approach, we develop innovative solutions to meet the specific requirements of the situation in hand.

We have achieved a significant breakthrough for indoor location tracking using the tiny, low-cost inertial sensors found in smartphones, coupled with ingenious data fusion algorithms.

Our infrastructure-free system can track an individual’s location without GPS or RF signals – ideal for many applications, from finding firefighters inside a burning building to tracking consumers in a shopping centre.

Our experience ranges from developing critical air traffic control and defence systems to work in the industrial and commercial sectors.

Our 20-strong tracking and location team, based in both our Cambridge, UK and Boston, MA offices, is supported by our world-class expertise in allied disciplines, from machine vision to radar engineering.

Today, we’re exploiting the ubiquity of connected devices to develop innovative location systems, through Bluetooth radio propagation and the algorithms that power high volumes of low-accuracy measurements.
