Wheere in Clubic: Wheere shakes up the codes of geolocation
At VivaTech 2025 , Clubic journalist Alexandre Boero met Pierre-Arnaud Coquelin on the Wheere stand. In his article, he recalls the highlights of this exchange and makes the following observation: while GPS has become indispensable in our lives, it reveals its limitations as soon as we walk through the doors of a building. This is precisely where Wheere comes in, offering an innovative geolocation solution capable of bridging this technological gap and paving the way for new uses.
The only technology that cuts through 50 meters of concrete
The journalist highlights the features that make Wheere technology unique, such aslow-frequency waves that can penetrate obstacles and cover a large urban area with just four transmitters.
" GPS, basically, is something from 20 or 30 years ago, it's really not bad, it's accurate to within 2 or 3 meters, but it only works outside." Pierre-Arnaud Coquelin, CEO of Wheere

The article highlights Wheere's ambition to launch an innovative and sovereign French space constellation, in partnership with players such as U-Space and SpaceLocker, to make indoor geolocation accessible anywhere on Earth from space.
This project, which marks a new stage in Wheere's development, will be based on an initial in-orbit demonstration phase, prior to the deployment of a global operational service.

Thanks to the emission oflow-frequency waves capable of penetrating obstacles, and a proprietary algorithm that isolates the direct signal from bounces, Wheere guarantees ultra-precise geolocation down to one meter, even in complex environments.
Already deployed in its terrestrial version, which can cover an urban area of 1 km² with just four transmitters, Wheere is preparing an ambitious space deployment aiming, by 2032, to bring into service a sovereign constellation capable of offering worldwide satellite coverage, without the need for ground infrastructure.
