Trusted Positioning's Technology – The Trusted Positioning Platform (TPP)

Harnessing the Potential of Low-cost Sensors

The Trusted Positioning Platform (TPP) integrates sensors, such as Micro-Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) inertial sensors, with wireless updates, such as GNSS and Wi-Fi, to provide continuous, accurate and affordable navigation and positioning for all environments.

Features

  • Multi-Sensor Integrated Navigation software suite
  • Customizable modules that can be quickly tailored for specific customer needs
  • Industry leading MEMS inertial error modeling and integration with wireless positioning
  • Updates from any wireless positioning system, such as GNSS or Wi-Fi
  • Autonomous calibration for very low cost MEMS sensors
  • Support for other sensors such as magnetometers, barometers, and speed sensors
  • Advanced non linear filters capable of real-time operation on low-power processors

Advantages

The Trusted Positioning Platform (TPP) combines the benefits of both self-contained sensors and wireless technologies.

  • Accuracy comparable to high grade INS/GPS systems using low-cost MEMS sensors.
  • Positioning anywhere, including when wireless signals are blocked, such as:
    • Indoor/outdoor
    • Urban centres
    • Under thick foliage
    • Underground & underwater
  • Orientation estimation of both the device (e.g. phone) and the platform (e.g. person/vehicle)
  • Uses self-contained sensors that exist in devices today - no extra hardware needed
  • Improves accuracy of wireless positioning when wireless signals are available.
