Locata’s Inventions
The critical components of Locata’s technology include:
| LocataLite | A transceiver device that can be easily deployed in networks that replicate all of a GPS constellation’s functions – but locally and on the ground. A LocataLite currently transmits CDMA on 2 frequencies within the 2.4 GHz ISM band and from 2 spatially separated antennas, producing 4 usable ranging signals.However, LocataLites can be designed to broadcast notionally at any frequency, or at any power deemed appropriate for a specific application. |
| LocataNet | A terrestrial network of synchronised LocataLites – operating outdoors, indoors or in combination – providing highly accurate positioning signals that enable a wide range of applications including indoor logistics and warehousing. |
| TimeLoc | A wireless synchronisation methodology that achieves nanosecond accuracy. Timeloc can be cascaded to multiple LocataLites in a local or wide area network of virtually any scale (autonomous, internal self-synchronisation). |
| Locata | A mobile receiver whose output replicates the same Position, Navigation and Time (PNT) information as a GPS, GLONASS or Galileo receiver. |
| TimeTenna | A revolutionary antenna designed for indoor industrial applications providing:• Low-precision “Coarse” Solution: ~ 1/2 metre• High-precision Carrier-Phase Solution: ~ 2-3 cm• Autonomous 3D Orientation indoors (using a single antenna): ±1 degree• Time Transfer (at Locata Receiver): < 100 ns |
