The solution works with A-GPS systems to provide high accuracy across all environments, especially dense urban and indoor environments, where standalone A-GPS mobile location solutions experience severe accuracy, yield and latency challenges. Polaris said its Advanced Hybrid Solution can now locate callers in urban environments with accuracy improvements ranging from 40 to 70 percent, at the 67th and 95th percentiles respectively, as compared to standalone A-GPS. Polaris has developed unique algorithms, based on extensive testing in challenging environments that combine information from WLS and A-GPS. They also improve time-to-fix to support location applications that require immediate accuracy location information; that is, within 3-4 seconds, rather than over 20 seconds with a stand-alone A-GPS solution. Polaris also leverages handset signature technology . Like a fingerprint's pattern of lines and swirls, a location can be identified by a unique set of values including measurements of neighboring cell signal strengths, time delay and other network parameters. The system mines network measurement information and determine accurate locations to within tens of meters. The Polaris Wireless Advanced Hybrid Solution is available as a commercial, Tier 1 carrier grade, LBS-ready platform supported on fully redundant and scalable off-the-shelf server hardware. http://www.polariswireless.com 10-Sep-08     Learn How to Get Your Video on this Site Recent Broadband Wireless News Wholesale Applications Community Sets Course 7/27/2010 Qualcomm Sees Opportunity in Electric Vehicle Charging 7/27/2010 Clearwire Sells WiMAX Operations in Ireland to Imagine 7/26/2010 Ceragon Acquires Advanced Carrier Ethernet NMS Technology 7/26/2010 AT&T Adds Nearly 900,000 Connected Devices in Q2 7/23/2010 Hong Kong's CSL Selects ZTE for 1800 MHz/2600 MHz Dual-band LTE Network 7/22/2010 Lockheed Martin Tests Through-The-Earth Wireless Communications 7/21/2010 ZTE Completes LTE/EPC Interoperability Tests with MSF 7/21/2010 Exalt Introduces 4G/LTE-Ready Microwave Backhaul Platform 7/20/2010 Spirent Verifies LTE to CDMA Handover 7/20/2010 BT Outlines its National Smart Meter Rollout Bid 7/19/2010 Netsnapper Builds Mobile Optimization Platform 7/19/2010 Ericsson Wins Managed Services Contract with China Mobile Hebei 7/19/2010 Infonetics: Mobile Broadband Service Revenue to More than Double by 2014 7/16/2010 Brazil's Mobile Penetration Rate Hits 95% 7/16/2010 > More news...     Search  this site   Search the Web   Get Your Column Published Interview: NSN's Sue Spradley on LightSquared's Wholesale Mobile Data Paradigm by Sue Spradley Mobile Backhaul Transition Requires New Testing by Joe Zeto Cybersecurity Requires Public/Private Coalition by Greg Oslan A Rethinking of Cloud Services and Network Architecture by Jim Theodoras Delivering Scalable Video Solutions <br><i> Advantages of SVC-Optimized QoS</i> by Andy Singleton Does Network Neutrality Impact DPI? by James Brear   E-mail Newsletter Subscribe Now
