Utilising a zone-based solution for uninterrupted GPS reception underground, each zone represents a static latitude, longitude and altitude based on the actual location of the zone and not the location of a surface antenna which other repeater only solutions rely upon.
Using live ephemeris data, TunnelSat generates positions almost indistinguishable from true GPS, with seamless transitioning from live-sky GNSS to simulation and back.
Seamless transition between outdoor live-sky GPS and indoor simulated GPS
Universal solution for existing GPS based equipment
Compatible with all smartphones and professional P25 or TETRA receivers
No signal leakage or RF interference
GPS receivers require no additional accessories or software
Enhanced Safety in Emergencies
In emergency situations, such as accidents or natural disasters, knowing the exact location of individuals or vehicles in underground areas is crucial for effective and timely rescue operations.
Modern vehicles are now commonly fitted with eCall as standard, making the need for GPS on public underground highways, such as tunnels, essential to ensure this technology continues to function.
Navigation and Location Accuracy
The ability to maintain GPS-aided positioning for navigation is hugely advantageous for most GPS users and can be critical for emergency services, delivery vehicles, and public transportation systems that rely on precise location data.
Providing vehicles or individuals with underground GPS positioning also ensures there is no delay in acquiring position once outside, which can be critical in situations such as emergency vehicles emerging from underground car parks.
Improved Public Transportation Management
For subways and underground trains, real-time location data can significantly improve operational efficiency, scheduling, and the overall management of the transit system. It can also enhance passenger information systems, providing real-time updates on train locations and expected arrival times.
Location-Based Services and Analytics
For businesses and services operating in underground environments, such as retail outlets in subway stations, accurate location data can enable targeted advertising, customer flow analytics, and enhanced user experiences.
Worker and Asset Tracking
In industries like mining or construction, where operations often occur underground, being able to track the location of workers and equipment in real-time is vital for safety and operational efficiency.
Autonomous Vehicle Operation
GPS forms a central part of the sensor stack for autonomous vehicles. Therefore, it remains essential to provide a GPS signal to aid navigation in every-day driving environments such as underground parking lots or tunnels.
