By

New tag and platform features provide GPS-like tracking for indoor applications.

The latest release of the platform provides our customers with the ability to accurately locate and track assets and inventory indoors using simple, fixed Bluetooth beacons.

ATLANTA (PRWEB) October 16, 2019

Cognosos announced today that it has added new tags and applications to accurately locate and track assets in buildings such as hospitals, retail stores, and warehouses using simple Bluetooth beacons. Built to deliver asset location services to multiple industries, the Cognosos platform has already been deployed across the automotive market to track and monitor vehicle inventories. Cognosos indoor location services will be available for commercial applications in the fourth quarter of 2019, providing customers with a common platform that spans both indoor and outdoor tracking needs.

“We’ve developed an extensible location services platform that delivers location intelligence through the use of multiple technology engines including GPS and Bluetooth,” said co-founder and CTO Jim Stratigos. “In keeping with our strategy to minimize infrastructure, the latest release of the platform provides our customers with the ability to accurately locate and track assets and inventory indoors using simple, fixed Bluetooth beacons. The same beacons that are increasingly being deployed for wayfinding and proximity marketing can now also serve up ‘indoor GPS’ without the need for new, hardwired access points,” he explained.

Cognosos is working with technology partners to embed indoor location capabilities within their products. Early deployments include hospitals seeking to increase the utilization of medical equipment and retail stores targeting improved On-Shelf Availability of stock.

Latest patent covers cloud-based wireless technology used for low-power, wide-area networking

ATLANTA (March 26, 2019) – Cognosos today announced the issuance of a patent that provides additional claims related to the company’s RadioCloud® technology. RadioCloud is a groundbreaking technology for the Industrial Internet of Things that enables long-range transmissions by low-cost wireless devices while extending battery life at the same time.

“Our latest patent makes claims related to the use of MIMO techniques to extend the range of low-power wireless devices by using the signals from multiple gateways and cooperatively processing those signals in such a way as to reduce interference and improve the signal-to-noise ratio,” said co-founder and CTO Jim Stratigos. “It grows our patent portfolio to ten U.S. and international patents covering our RadioCloud technology.”

Patent 10,135,499 is for a distributed radio communications network where software defined radio (SDR) gateways are used along with advanced signal processing and coding techniques in a remote server to provide low-power, wire-area wireless networks using widely available, low-cost wireless devices. RadioCloud provides a superior alternative to traditional RFID, Wi-Fi and LTE networks for applications requiring coverage within buildings or across large outdoor campus areas.

Cognosos has incorporated RadioCloud® technology within its complete, end-to-end IoT platform supporting both outdoor and indoor geolocation applications across multiple industries including automotive, logistics, manufacturing and healthcare. The company has deployed its geolocation IoT platform to customer sites across the country and has over 40,000 of its wireless tags currently in service.
