Approval Opens U.S. Market for Location Aware 'Smart Space' Platform,
Ubisense one of the First Companies to Receive Certification
DENVER, Dec. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- From developing new and productive ways to
utilize office space to locating patients, medical staff and equipment in
hospitals to managing innovative lighting for stage shows, Ubisense Smart
Space uses patented and patent pending technology to create an ultrawideband-
based network inside a building capable of locating a person or object in
three dimensions to within 6 inches in real-time. The devices comprising the
platform today received certification from the Federal Communications
Commission to operate in the United States.
While traditional radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is
becoming the standard for managing product manufacturing and the distribution
supply chain of low cost items, Ubisense Smart Space takes location-based
technologies to a new level, enabling automation of a space -- and everything
in it.
"Ubisense brings to life the spaces where we work," said C. Warren
Ferguson, chairman and CEO of Ubisense. "It means businesses can improve the
utilization and productivity of their space. Making informed decisions and
working faster, easier and safer can result in significant cost savings and
increases in production."
Ubisense will demonstrate the Smart Space platform via live Webcast at
11:30 a.m. EST on Wednesday, December 15. To RSVP for the event, contact Chad
Morris at Ubisense at 720.283.1557 or e-mail chad.morris@ubisense.net.
Ubisense Smart Space is composed of a real-time software platform, a
network of Ubisensors, badges that are worn by people or Ubitags, pager-sized
devices, which are attached to an object or asset.
Unlike location systems based on conventional radio frequency technology,
which work poorly indoors because the signals reflected off walls, desks,
people and equipment (multi-path) are hard to distinguish from direct path
signals, UWB short duration pulses are easier to process in order to determine
which is the correct signal thereby increasing accuracy and reliability.
The Smart Space technology places no limits on the size of the area
covered, or the number of people and objects located, scaling easily and
incrementally from a small implementation running on a laptop to a campus-wide
solution running on a cluster of Windows or Linux computers.
