Polte’s patented Cloud Location over Cellular (C-LoC) technology enables Polte to deliver the Polte Location API, which can be leveraged to drive accessibility for businesses wanting to track greater quantities of a wider range of assets. All Mobile IoT devices leveraging the Polte Location API for asset tracking are what we refer to as Powered by Polte.
Following Polte IoT Cloud (PIC) account creation and setup with assistance from our support team, the user will attach the Powered by Polte device(s) to the appropriate assets.
1. No additional infrastructure needed. Each device collects information from surrounding cellular infrastructure – even if it is indoors, inside a vehicle, or enclosed in a package.
2. The device then compresses and sends a small data packet to the PIC, offloading complexity to the cloud rather than taking a hit on battery drain.
3. The PIC calculates location using patented super resolution-based algorithms in real time, within what we call the Polte Location Engine (LE). With more than a decade of working through perfecting our algorithms and mitigating multi-path issues, this aspect is the core of what we do.
4. The user is then able to access their asset’s location, management controls, notifications and more either through the PIC, or easily integrated with another third party interface.
Because location isn’t calculated on the Powered by Polte device itself, it is left less susceptible to common device-based attacks than those relying on GPS or Wi-Fi. Using a unique “edge to cloud” architecture, the Polte Location API enables both the most secure and accurate cellular location possible.
