An alternative to GPS for complex environments
Christophe Greuet 's article highlights a major technical issue: conventional GPS signals, which originate from satellites, are interrupted when they encounter obstacles such as walls or roofs. The newspaper explains how Wheere circumvents this physical limitation by using low-frequency radio waves. This approach makes it possible to maintain reliable location tracking to within approximately one meter, even in the densest urban or industrial environments.
From CES in Las Vegas to the miniaturization of the receiver module
The report highlights the start-up's notable presence at CES in Las Vegas for the second consecutive year, confirming international interest in this innovation. The infrastructure, already recognized for its lightness with only four antennas sufficient to cover an entire industrial site, is about to take a new step forward with the upcoming arrival of a miniaturized reception module in an ASIC chip. This advance will enable Wheere technology to be natively integrated into any connected object (IoT), further simplifying its large-scale deployment.
Towards a spatial network for universal coverage
Beyond current terrestrial applications, the company is exploring its long-term vision: integrating its technology into space. The idea, championed by the founders, is to embed these signals, which are capable of passing through walls, into satellite constellations. This strategic development would make it possible to definitively overcome geographical constraints and offer a resilient geolocation standard that is accessible anywhere in the world.
