Problem
Indoor navigation systems often lack the precision needed for accurate wayfinding, leading to user frustration and limiting the potential for location-based services. Existing solutions may also compromise user privacy by tracking their movements.
Solution
Pinpoint provides a precise indoor navigation solution using ultra-wideband (UWB) technology. This technology enables location-based services such as smart ticketing, hands-free access, and virtual queueing with accuracy down to the seat level. Pinpoint's system ensures user privacy through untracked navigation, allowing users to find their way in complex buildings without sacrificing personal data. The patented wireless UWB synchronization achieves accuracy at 1 nanosecond. The system employs a GPS-like reverse Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) approach to enable private, scalable, and precise positioning.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes venues in the event and entertainment sectors, as well as mobility and public infrastructure providers seeking to enhance user experiences with precise indoor navigation.
