Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

This R&D project focuses on the next generation Forkbeard technology by Sonitor (https://www.sonitor.com/forkbeard/) a revolutionary indoor positioning that combines ultrasound and bluetooth RF technology to deliver reliable and low cost positioning to any smartphone running an Forkbeard enabled App. It builds on the long experience of Sonitor in the field of indoor positioning but as a worldwide first offers centimeter level accuracy on a off the shelf smartphone. The technology developed is called Fast Ultrasound Echo Location (FUEL(TM)), which harnesses the power of reflections to aid positioning. The system consist of a cloud service and battery powered devices (ultraBeacons) that implement innovative hardware and software algorithms to deliver a battery life and uninterrupted service for at least 5 years.
