Indoor location technology start-up Loctronix has just announced that it is being acquired by TeleCommunication Systems (TCS). Seattle-based Loctronix has developed a wide range of highly technical methods for location positioning. Their algorithms improve both motion sensing and radio-based location measurement. The company had previously been working to have its technology implemented in chips or device hardware, because of the level at which their algorithms operate, but this appears to be pivoting in light of their acquisition by TCS. A partial list of their innovative technologies include: DAIN: Doppler Aided Inertial Navigation, including sensor fusion motion sensing and step estimator SCP: Spectral Compression Positioning RSS: Radio Signal Strength Profiler MEP: Mobile Explorer Platform TCS is quietly a true leader in mobile location systems, with systems deployed on both feature phones and smartphones worldwide, primarily in conjunction with carriers, but m
