LocalNavigator
The Intelligent Combination - Bluetooth, Mobile Internet, Location Awareness Services
 

Our vision is to offer mobile services that help modern people in finding their way through an ever-expanding world of information.

Our solution is the LocalNavigator; an integrated platform of software and hardware components that provides the infrastructure for mobile, personalized, topical, and location-aware services. Through this platform we enable new services and creative marketing models, which our customers will exploit to offer better competitiveness.

 
 

Our LocalNavigator is a system for so called "Local Worlds" such as trade fairs, museums, hotels, convention centers and shopping malls, train stations and airports. In these places the LocalNavigator provides information services, navigation assistance, and mobile Internet access.

Our wireless networking hardware technology is based on the Bluetooth standard, enabling high-bandwidth communication in local areas. Our application development focuses on handheld devices such as PDAs.

Our products work over any underlying network, such as GSM, GPRS, UMTS, and WLAN, allowing us to react flexibly and rapidly to the latest developments in telecommunications.

 

Our innovative platform is a modular system comprised of a number of hardware and software components. These are the LocalNavigator platform, the LocalNavigator Bluetooth Base Station, the LocalNavigator IrDA Beacon, and the LocalNavigator PalmtopGuide.

Our service includes the production of the devices and the complete service range as well as project management.

 
LocalNavigator Platform

The LocalNavigator platform is the modular basis for integrating mobile applications into production facilities.

All data concerning locations, people, machines and times have to be collected, coordinated and adapted for applications on the mobile clients. To facilitate this task, lesswire AG has developed the LocalNavigator platform, which can be employed whatever the technology used for wireless data communication.

Localized events from different localization systems are processed and combined. It is possible to use a combination of WLAN, BluetoothTM, IrDA beacons, GPS and GSM, and even GPRS and UMTS are easy to support. Using a wide range of standard terminals such as PDAs, MOBIC or Web pads results in high investment security, while utilization of the standard ISM band reduces operation costs.

 
 
The LocalNavigator platform comprises the following modules:
  • LN Core coordinates requests for localized information in complex environments and the data that this generates
  • LocalNavigator Client for flexible and dynamic multimedia content handling on the PDA
  • WebTag Server and WebTag Client combine objects, locations, and people using tagged URLs
  • IrDA Beacon Component and Sighting Proxy are used to combine positioning information transmitted by infrared beacons
