Omnisense applies its intellectual property and designs to integrate real-time geolocation into wireless sensor networks to track objects, assets, people, and animals anywhere without requiring fixed infrastructure. The company focuses on relative positioning applications and has developed a Series 500 product that uses a mesh network of self-initializing devices communicating over 2.4GHz to determine position relative to each other through radio signal time of arrival measurements. Potential applications include tracking soldiers, emergency responders, public transit vehicles, miners, machinery, people with dementia, and for sports and telemetry uses.

Omnisense applies its IPR and designs to integrate real
time geolocation into wireless sensor networks to track
objects, assets, people and animals, anywhere
 Cambridge (UK) company formed in January 2009.
 We have identified a series of needs to which our location aware
wireless sensor products have been optimised.
 Primary focus is on relative positioning applications
that are intolerant of installing fixed infrastructure
at a site.
 Strong IPR in techniques combining multiple
measurement sources into reliable positions.
 Series 500 product development was supported by
customer contracts and a substantial TSB grant.

Series 500 product
 Self-initialising devices communicate over
2.4GHz to form a mesh network.
 Each device knows position
relative to others by measuring
the time of arrival of radio
signals from neighbours
 Fixed infrastructure not required
 Simple API for integrators
 Works indoors & out
 Achieved with low cost & low
power chips & MEMs sensors
Omnisense Series 500 system
Devices perform same
function whether fixed
or mobile

Application Examples
Real examples being worked on
with our customers:
 Soldiers or emergency services,
indoors and where GPS denied
 Buses, trucks or trains around
tunnels, terminals and depots
 Miners & machinery underground,
Construction industry
 People with dementia, both at
home and when they wander out
 Intelligent sensing telemetry (e.g.
fall detection)
 Sports location, timing and
training applications
