5. How to develop a tracker without using of GPS?
http://www.gsm-modem.de/M2M/m2m-faq/how-to-develop-a-tracker-without-gps/Right now we are following Number 5. I am working on GSM locating. 10 years ago I was the leader of a development team to locate salesmen of tickets at the World Trade Show EXPO 2000 in Hanover, Germany, indoor. We protected the salesmen of the tickets of the gondola train. After a short period they had always thousands of Euro´s in their pocket.
Today I try to widespread the technology to 180 countries all over the world. I assume to finish my tests in April 2010.
One of our (Redpine Signals(Rutronik is one of our important Distributor)), Ecosystem Partners , http://www.redpinesignals.com/Contact/ecosystem_partners.html , Navizon (www.navizon.com )provide Global Positioning System based on WI-Fi Hot Spot and Cellular Tower and enables mobile device users to determine their geographic position by using the location of cell phone towers (cell-id) and Wi-Fi access points in addition to GPS. This is crucial indoors and in urban environments, where GPS signals are blocked.
Navizon’s global cell-id and Wi-Fi locations database was created though crowdsourcing by a community of more than 1.2 million registered users from around the world. Crowdsourcing enables gathering millions of data points every day, making the Navizon Wi-Fi and cell-id database truly dynamic and global.
Thanks to millions of database point around the worlsd you can localize also TAG , like the unique dual band Redpine Signals TAG , WiSeMote , able to be central of multi Infrastructure different mode ( CISCO, non-CCX and associated Mode )
Hi Giuseppe, Rutronik had two Pubic Tech Days this year. One was in Dortmund and was in Berlin. I was talking about Indoor Locating based on GSM Cell ID. Navizon was one of the suppliers that I mentioned as well. I also mentioned further free of charge sources. Navizon is not the only supplier of Cell ID data. Redpine was talking about WIFI based locating on both events as well. BTW, the download of the slides for about locating of something are public here (WIFI, ANT, Bluetooth Low Energy, GPS, Glonass, Galileo, Cell ID):
