Ubi.cloud transforms traditional IoT tracking by shifting power-intensive GPS and WiFi tasks to the cloud. This innovation enables significant reductions in device size and energy consumption, leading to lower costs. By leveraging ubiquitous geolocation, Ubi.cloud offers a comprehensive solution for both outdoor GPS-based tracking and indoor/urban WiFi positioning. Its ultra-low-power operation can drastically cut the power usage of receiver chipsets by up to 10 times compared to conventional systems, thus extending the lifetime of IoT devices and reducing overall project costs.
The platform operates with advanced embedded technologies, UbiGNSS and UbiWiFi, tailored for asset tracking. UbiGNSS minimizes on-time per GPS position to just 3 seconds on average, achieving substantial energy savings compared to traditional cold-start GPS systems. UbiWiFi also reduces time per position drastically, utilizing only 0.3 seconds on average. These features ensure high accuracy in positioning, with a typical range of 10 to 20 meters. Ubi.cloud supports a variety of Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN) technologies such as Sigfox, LoRa, and NB-IoT, and delivers outputs including position and accuracy metrics through a simple API.
In addition to its core functionalities, Ubi.cloud provides software libraries compatible with leading GNSS/WiFi hardware, ensuring ease of integration and quick deployment. The compact data payloads mean that the system requires minimal bandwidth, making it efficient for uplink data transmission only, which helps in reducing communication costs. The flexible business models ranging from pay-as-you-go to lifetime licenses provide customers with varied options to suit different operational needs.
