A new col­lab­o­ra­tion has been announced with the aim of bring­ing togeth­er two lead­ing ser­vices in loca­tion tech­nol­o­gy. This is with a view to pro­vid­ing new plat­form solu­tions to pub­lic spaces, includ­ing sports venues.

With the project, Advanced RF Tech­nolo­gies, Inc. has come togeth­er with the Strate­gic Alliance Part­ner Pro­gram estab­lished by Sirqul. The aim is to fur­ther the capa­bil­i­ties of the Sirqul Inter­net of Things plat­form by incor­po­rat­ing data from the cel­lu­lar con­nec­tions ADRF pro­vides.

The objec­tive of Sirqul is to func­tion as an engage­ment-as-a-ser­vice Inter­net of Things provider, offer­ing soft­ware for ver­ti­cal solu­tions. The­se solu­tions work with mesh net­works, intend­ed to track and iden­ti­fy an indi­vid­u­als’ behav­ior, loca­tion, and intent.

With engage­ment-as-a-ser­vice, new tech­nolo­gies such as faster net­works, sophis­ti­cat­ed devices and advanced mul­ti­me­dia capa­bil­i­ties enable for mobile users to inter­act with their favorite brands in new and more per­son­al­ized ways. This allows busi­ness to run mul­ti-part cam­paigns to engage con­sumers via mobile ser­vices like text mes­sages, emails, push noti­fi­ca­tions, and social media updates.

The types of func­tion­al­i­ty ranges for pin­point­ing the exact loca­tion of a fan at a sports sta­di­um to the trans­port and deliv­ery of food via autonomous robots. Such robots would be designed to nav­i­gate through indus­tri­al ware­hous­es and fac­to­ries. The­se robots can also be mon­i­tored, with their exact loca­tions iden­ti­fied.

The use of the Advanced RF Tech­nolo­gies plat­form allows Sirqul to incor­po­rate data from 3G and 4G. This is by incor­po­rat­ing redun­dan­cy to the net­work, as well as cre­at­ing new oppor­tu­ni­ties for cen­ters that are not equipped to provide WiFi.

With the part­ner­ship, Sirqul can use the new exper­tise to fit wire­less sys­tems and oth­er loca­tion-equipped tech­nolo­gies into pub­lic spaces. The tech­nol­o­gy will also be appro­pri­ate for apart­ment com­plex­es, new­er smart build­ings, and sports sta­di­ums. Here dif­fer­ent plat­form ser­vices can be pro­vid­ed.

Com­ment­ing on the new part­ner­ship, who is the Greg Naj­jar, Direc­tor, Busi­ness Devel­op­ment for Advanced RF Tech­nolo­gies, stat­ed to  EE News: “Sirqul has cre­at­ed a strong tech­nol­o­gy offer­ing that allows its cus­tomers to draw real-time and loca­tion-based insights from IoT data.”

He added: “Join­ing the Strate­gic Alliance enables ADRF to become a crit­i­cal com­po­nent of Sirqul’s solu­tion and bring ‘smart’ expe­ri­ences to more venues.”
