Reliability and Redundancy

Reliability

LocataNets can provide exceptional levels of reliability for any application.

• Locally configurable networks for specific service applications:
• Deploy LocataLites in the geographic locations required to meet DOP, reliability, redundancy and services integrity requirements; and
• Add LocataLites, if required, to improve Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) availability or any other metric.
• Easily expandable, flexible deployment:
• Close proximity LocataNets can be meshed or simply operate adjacent to each other independently; and
• Expandable under the current ICD architecture to 30 LocataLites within the near field

  (4 signals per LocataLite = 120 frequency diverse and spatially diverse positioning signals).  Networks with even more signals will become available in 2012.

Redundancy

• Ground based infrastructure is infinitely easier to maintain, upgrade and replace than space based infrastructure;
• Locata signals are very difficult to jam because of the transmission levels required to overcome Locata’s strong signals.  Therefore, jammers are easily discoverable; and
• LocataNets give total autonomy and local control over mission critical infrastructure to the network owner.
