Bring Location Awareness to Mobile Devices using WiFi with Devicescape SoftGPS Are you designing mobile devices such as handsets, notebooks, digital cameras or other innovative electronics? Do your devices need to deliver location services, without the use of integrated GPS or cellular? Do they need to know where they are and where they’ve been to unlock their value? Are you building a device that already has a GPS chipset built-in but you need to assist it to a quick fix or to work indoors? If you answered yes to one of the previous questions, you must attend this FREE Webinar. Learn how easy it is to deliver a location-aware device with Devicescape’s Soft GPS. Find out how Devicescape harnesses the power of WiFi for location-based services. Register for the LIVE Webinar: Register : Sept 16, 2010 - 8 am San Francisco | 4 pm London | 5 pm Berlin Detailed Information on this Webinar: SoftGPS can be incorporated into WiFi-equipped mobile devices to provide location awareness without the need for GPS hardware by using the surrounding WiFi environment. Uniquely, SoftGPS can function over many types of WiFi networks, including Devicescape's Easy WiFi Network, without full authentication and without the need for cellular data. SoftGPS can discover locations using WiFi in real-time, or used “after the fact” to look up locations later via mobile, PC or server applications. SoftGPS can also be embedded directly on a device to function in a completely stand-alone manner For devices with GPS hardware, SoftGPS can be used to gain a rough location and reduce startup delays, and to provide a location indoors and in other areas where the GPS signal is compromised.
