Ubi.cloud is an innovative solution by Ubiscale that transforms the landscape of IoT device geolocation. It effectively transfers the power-intensive processes of GPS and Wi-Fi to the cloud, thereby significantly reducing the size, power usage, and cost of tracking devices. Ubi.cloud's focus is on providing ubiquitous geolocation by combining GPS for outdoor navigation with Wi-Fi for precise indoor and urban tracking.
The architecture of Ubi.cloud integrates embedded technologies like UbiGNSS and UbiWIFI, and aims for substantial power savings and efficient operation. UbiGNSS minimizes power usage during location computation, boasting impressive power savings compared to traditional GPS cold-start processes. Meanwhile, UbiWiFi offers rapid location determination, outperforming standard Wi-Fi sniffing techniques.
Ubi.cloud supports low-power wide-area networks like Sigfox, LoRa, and NB-IoT, ensuring versatile application across various IoT infrastructures. The solution provides not just location but accuracy metrics, while the device's power can be completely turned off between location updates to conserve energy. This combination of efficiency, adaptability, and cost-effectiveness makes Ubi.cloud an ideal solution for developers aiming to enhance IoT device capabilities with minimal resource consumption.
