Benefits

• No time or clock synchronization is required for PinPoint based applications which reduces component and deployment costs.
• PinPoint devices can utilize inexpensive and off the shelf standards based components including clock and timing subsystems for reduced cost of goods in tags, receivers and location devices.
• Accurate indoor and outdoor operation is easily facilitated as no line of sight to satellites are required. Selecting the appropriate RF frequencies lets accurate measurements be made through floors, walls and other obstructions supporting numerous application opportunities in security commerce and asset management.
• PinPoint provides modes of operation which allow massive scalability through distributed processing among devices without the need for large central server implementations.
• Interoperability with GPS, RFID or legacy systems are possible with PinPoint which can be used to as a fallback or as a complement to exiting installations .Smooth transition of accurate location detection to areas not covered with GPS are easily implemented. New opportunities in applications suchas offender tracking both indoors and out are possible using PinPoint.
• PinPoint has low computational requirements which can be translated into low power applications and long battery life. The algorithm used is based on simple algebraic operations.
• PinPoint is independent of the communication technology used it can be used with the narrow-band RF, spread spectrum, or ultra wide band technologies. PinPoint is both communications protocol and RF agnostic making it suitable for the broadest range of applications and environments.
• PinPoint does not require any infrastructure support or pre-planning for the area of deployment. This ability makes it perfectly suited for emergence deployments.
