Descripción del proyecto
Una solución pionera para la geolocalización del internet de las cosas
Los progresos en digitalización están impulsando las tecnologías de geolocalización. El proyecto Nestwave, financiado con fondos europeos, propone una solución pionera dedicada a la geolocalización del internet de las cosas (IdC), que mejorará la precisión en los cañones urbanos, ampliará la cobertura en interiores y reducirá el consumo de energía y los costes en comparación con las soluciones actuales. La tecnología patentada de procesamiento de señales ofrece una gran precisión y una rápida adquisición de la señal a niveles de señal bajos. Se basa en la combinación de «software» integrado en un módem o chip GNSS y un servicio basado en la nube que finaliza los cálculos de geolocalización. El público objetivo de Nestwave son los mercados altamente exigentes de módems de comunicación y juegos de chips GNSS y dispositivos y conectividad del IdC.
Objetivo
Nestwave brings a radically novel solution optimized for IoT geolocation. Based on 11 patents issued and pending, the Nestwave solution improves accuracy in urban canyon environments, increases indoor coverage, and reduces power consumption and costs as compared to existing solutions (2.5x accuracy and 1/10 of the power consumption at 1/3 of the cost of GNSS solutions).
The Nestwave solution is a combination of software integrated into a modem or GNSS chip and a cloud-based service used to complete the geolocation calculations, which will be sold to communication modem chipset vendors, GNSS chipset vendors, IoT device suppliers and IoT connectivity suppliers. Nestwave’s unique, patented signal processing solution provides high accuracy and fast signal acquisition at low signal levels (e.g. behind buildings or indoor with signal strength 1,000 or 10,000 times weaker than in open, outdoor locations) or in the presence of signal reflections in urban environments.
Currently, the solution determines timestamps using a hybrid of GPS and 4G signal sources. The project funding will be used in part to create a more comprehensive, higher performance solution based on additional signal sources, including Galileo, BeiDou, 5G and WiFi.
The performance of the Nestwave solution is reflected by the strong market interest we have experienced in the past 12 months: we have generated €360k from proof of concept projects related to LoRa geolocation and RTOS development.
Assuming an average customer lifetime value of €0.4 per IoT device, our total addressable market is estimated to €1.35Bn in 2022 growing to €2.15Bn in 2025, supporting a revenue forecast of €27M by 2025 and over 300 jobs created (directly and indirectly).
Nestwave is led by an executive team combining 80 years of experience in the wireless industry (at NemeriX, Qualcomm, Sequans and Motorola).
