The indoor positioning market has been waiting for someone to solve the shelf-level accuracy and Qubulus is now happy to confirm that it has achieved below 1m accuracy in a live environment in a mall in Malmö. This work is the result of research that was conducted in cooperation with the University of Lund from January to June this year and has since then been implemented into the LocLizard™ platform.

Mathematics
The mathematicians behind the work are Professor Andreas Jakobsson and one of his former students who is now employed by Qubulus. Their theoretical approach was focused on the way the existing Qubulus algorithms could be improved to incorporate a distance setting so that you can achieve the accuracy needed for each service using it.
The breakthrough presented an opportunity to implement the new algorithms into the LocLizard™ positioning platform by altering the Qubulus Positioning System (QPS™). 

Real live tests
The recent real live tests show that QPS™ can now deliver sub 1m accuracy when the radio environment is proven rich and sufficient, 2 meter in a less sufficient radio environment and is then adjustable to the needs of each customer. To meet this new type of usage scenario the platform has been adopted to cloud based hosting currently working on Amazon and the performance testing shows excellent results.
Qubulus CEO and founder Ants Maran on this market milestone:"I am really happy about how our research has paid off. It is all in the duty of serving our users and customers and I truly believe this is necessary to grow the indoor positioning market in a rapid pace," 

Here are the results from the live tests at Hanse Mall during the period May - September 2011:

Meeting market demand
Early 2011 Qubulus engaged with a customer with these specific needs and it has adopted its technology to fit the demand to what at the time was an impossible to fulfill request. "You will be surprised to see how efficient the new platform operates and how easy it is to integrate and deploy it. We did this because we saw the need for an accurate and versatile service with flexible accuracy and a freemium business model. We delivered and I'm happy for all the users out there who will soon be using the QPS™ powered services ," said Frank Schuil, Qubulus co-founder and VP Marketing.

The new version will be available soon to selected beta users. The launch date will be communicated during September.
