Grizzly Analytics discounts subscription service for the new year

PRESS RELEASE
Grizzly Analytics Mobile Monthly Intelligence Subscription Service:
Discounted for the New Year
December 1, 2011

Subscribers to Grizzly Analytics mobile intelligence service receive monthly reports and weekly updates that analyze the developing trends in the mobile industry and explain how they matter to you and what is likely to happen next.  Grizzly Analytics is now lowering our price for yearly subscriptions, as companies prepare for the New Year.

Everyone in the mobile and Internet industries knew in August that Google acquired DealMap.  Grizzly Analytics subscribers knew that this acquisition is part of a bigger trend of “daily deals” services incorporating mobile location, and that there were several other acquisitions and service launches in the same month comprising the same trend.  They also learned about related R&D by EBay, Microsoft and others, and read our analysis of how this trend impacts on commerce and the financial markets.

Similarly, everyone in the mobile industry knows that indoor location positioning is a big missing technology capability in mobile commerce and services.  Grizzly Analytics subscribers learned in August of a big research initiative in indoor location positioning by Qualcomm, and how it compares to related R&D by Sony Ericsson, Samsung and others.  They also read our analysis of the huge implications this will have for commerce.

Each month, Grizzly Analytics subscribers receive a report of roughly 50 pages analyzing 3-4 major trends developing in the previous month.  In addition to the trends themselves, we outline implications that they have on business and the financial markets (public companies, potential acquisitions).  Each week, Grizzly Analytics subscribers receive a brief easy-to-read “Monday morning update” e-mail giving the implications and preliminary analysis of the developments of the previous week.  And each month, Grizzly Analytics subscribers get a one hour phone call with our analyst to discuss how mobile industry trends affect them directly.

We also are pleased to offer our reports translated into other languages, for a small additional price.

Intel demos indoor location technology in new Wi-Fi chips at MWC 2015

Intel made several announcements  at MWC 2015, including a new chipset for wireless connectivity (Wi-Fi) in mobile devices. This new chipset, the 8270, include in-chip support for indoor location positioning. Below we explain their technology and show a video of it in action. With this announcement, Intel joins Broadcom, Qualcomm and other chip makers in moving broad indoor location positioning into mobile device hardware. The transition of indoor location positioning into chips is a trend identified in the newest Grizzly Analytics report on Indoor Location Positioning Technologies , released the week before MWC 2015. By moving indoor location positioning from software into hardware, chips such as Intel's enable location positioning to run continuously and universally, without using device CPU, and with less power consumption. Intel's technology delivers 1-3 meter accuracy, using a technique called multilateration, generating a new location estimate every second. While 1-

The year indoor location will truly take off

For years I've been writing sentences like "this will be the year that indoor location will explode into the market." I, and many others, have been expecting indoor location technology to enable the huge range of location-enabled apps, which currently work only outside where GPS signals are available, to work inside. But until now the promise of indoor location has remained a promise. But if we look at the reasons for this, we'll see that it is about to change. 2017 and 2018 are poised to be the years that the challenges keeping indoor location from going mainstream will be solved. First is accuracy. Most indoor location technologies until a year or so ago had accuracy in the range of 4 to 8 meters. This sounds good in principle, and in fact is better than GPS in many cases. But GPS systems are able to use road details to hide their inaccuracies, so that the blue dot seems to follow your driving car almost perfectly. But indoors, this sort of inaccuracy means y

Waze and Google Maps: A Quick Comparison

I've been a big Waze fan for years, relying on it to make my daily commute as quick as possible.  I try to never leave my hometown without checking Waze first to avoid getting stuck in traffic. For those of you who don't know about Waze, they basically crowd-source traffic information, learning where traffic is slow by measuring how fast their users are moving.  This traffic information is then used to route people in ways that will truly be fastest.  (Apple has reportedly licensed Waze data for their upcoming maps app.) Waze is used most heavily abroad, and is only recently building a following in the States.  (It was also just reviewed on the Forbes site .)  So on a recent trip to the States, I decided to compare Waze to the latest USA-based version of Google Maps for Android. In a nutshell, I reached three conclusions.  (1) Google's use of text-to-speech in their turn-by-turn directions is very nice.   (2) Google's got Waze beat in terms of explaining what
