CPS SECURES MATRIX TECHNOLOGY PATENT FOR BOOMING CHINESE LOCATION BASED SERVICES MARKET PDF Print E-mail
Written by CPS   
Monday, 12 September 2005
(12 September 2005) CPS (Cambridge Positioning Systems Ltd.) has secured its first success in the Chinese Patent Office for its Matrix high accuracy location technology.

With Matrix, mobile devices may be located to sub-100m accuracy across all environments in systems using GSM, W-CDMA and China's own 3G technology TDS-CDMA.

China, with over 360 million mobile users, represents one of CPS's main markets with growing demand for high accuracy solutions to meet a burgeoning market for vehicle, asset and personnel safety tracking. In recent months, CPS has announced a string of deals with service providers, handset and device manufacturers for Matrix technology.

CPS's policy is to apply for patents worldwide which protect its core intellectual property, and today it has more than twenty patent families relating to positioning systems. Patents are sought in all the established technologically advanced nations as well as countries like China that is emerging as a major power in mobile communications.

CPS CEO Chris Wade added: "China is a hugely significant market for every mobile technology company. With siginificant growth in customer numbers and an increasingly sophisticated consumer and enterprise market, we see very strong demand for our technology and already have deployments underway. We now have patent protection for a seamless transition of our technology from GSM through to 3G technologies - including China's own variant which is now gaining market acceptance."

CPS's technology makes use of the signals radiated by the cell towers to locate the position of a mobile phone. In essence, the travel time of the signal from each cell tower to the handset is measured. Three or more such measurements are sufficient to establish the position of the handset. Ends
