PoLTE and ACS Partner to Deliver LTE-Based Precise Location Data to Commercial and Industrial IoT Markets
PoLTE
Corporation, developer of Positioning over LTE (News - Alert) (PoLTE)™, and ACS,
developer of advanced Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) solutions, today
announced they are partnering on the development of enterprise
communication solutions, including real-time LTE-based location tracking
for mobile and IoT devices.
Leveraging the native and ubiquitous cellular LTE signals, PoLTE's
technology enables the seamless and persistent tracking of LTE devices
indoors or outdoors. Utilizing PoLTE's next-generation location
technology, ACS' (News - Alert) Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) platform will enable
enterprises in the manufacturing, industrial, and transportation
industries to continuously track the real-time location of LTE-connected
assets, goods, workers, and devices with precision.
"Unlike with localized Wi-Fi and Bluetooth location technology
approaches, our combined offering with ACS provides a new, ubiquitous,
and secure method for obtaining continuous and cohesive location data of
LTE-enabled devices," said Russ Markhovsky, Founder and President of
PoLTE. "Furthermore, by utilizing the native LTE signals we eliminate
the need to deploy Bluetooth beacons or densify Wi-Fi networks for
location purposes. Really, why track an LTE device with Wi-Fi or
Bluetooth now that we have made this breakthrough and can track an LTE
device utilizing native LTE signals?"
PoLTE is the only persistent and ubiquitous loation technology that can
scale with accuracy and reliability in mass for today's 4G and
tomorrow's 5G networks and devices.
"Our partnership with PoLTE was born out of the necessity to meet the
requirements of enterprise IoT and M2M applications," said Bob Pike,
Chief Technology Officer, Network and Mobile Broadband, at ACS. "The
fact is, traditional location presence methodologies, such as Wi-Fi and
beacons, simply do not work in many commercial and industrial
applications or settings. PoLTE's LTE-based location technology delivers
the real-time location data, with precision and security that our
customers demand."
ACS' MEC architectures combine wireless technology with an IT-type
service environment to deliver efficient communications services with
ultra-low latency and high bandwidth. MEC software applications can tap
into local content and information about network conditions so that
traffic can be handled in an optimal way; examples include local traffic
offload and caching, and video optimization.
PoLTE is always looking to develop unique and innovative solutions with
