Announcing its LSS system at this year's ION
GPS/GNSS 2003, the technology will be available to customers and
development partners by the end of 2003. QinetiQ's LSS GPS module
enables satellite tracking in extremely low signal environments. For
the first time robust positioning solutions will be available within
buildings, in urban canyons and under dense foliage.
"We are
extremely excited about the development of this module," said Ian
Pirie, director of GPS Telematics at QinetiQ. "Paired with our
expertise in integration, software development and solution design,
our customers will have access to a powerful, flexible platform for
their development."
The LSS GPS module is at the core of
QinetiQ's development of a positioning integration platform that is
being developed in a modular, configurable way to reduce cost and
time to market for partners and solution providers. QinetiQ will
work with partners with complementary technology and expertise to
produce world-class solutions to realise the growing opportunities
in navigation and positioning markets.
Pirie continued, "With
over 100 GPS experts and 20 years dedicated research and development
experience, QinetiQ is uniquely placed at the forefront of this
market."
With QinetiQ's enhanced LSS GPS module it is possible to
find and track positions in extreme and difficult environments.
These advantages enable new customer applications such as improved
customer service by using a dispatch system within the taxi industry
that uses GPS information to automatically assign the closest
vehicle to a customer request
Other applications might
include:
- Increased Fleet Efficiency: QinetiQ's low signal strength GPS
can support ambulances and other service fleets to take the
shortest route between two locations. Consequently, fuel costs are
reduced and customer service improves.
- Preventative Maintenance: QinetiQ's GPS, combined with
enterprise software can be used in the trucking industry to keep
track of vehicle mileage and trigger maintenance alerts.
- Improved Safety: In taxis, school buses and many other fleet
types, QinetiQ's GPS improves driver and passenger safety, by
allowing the driver to summon help quickly in the event of an
emergency
situation.
