LATS, NOC and Base Station Software Software Engineers
S5’s technology is a breakthrough, wireless technology that allows ultra long-range geo-tracking and communications at very low cost and very low power consumption. Because of its small size (down to an SD Card form factor), low power requirement, and precise tracking capabilities at very long distances without GPS, the S5 Wireless technology enables new markets that have never been able to consider wireless technology before. It is the only known burst-mode spread spectrum technology that provides ultra long-range data telemetry and geo-location capabilities in a low-power, miniature footprint. The possibilities for commercial and government uses are a potential multi-billion dollar opportunity.
Gartner research shows that a huge market exists—and will continue to grow—for M2M (machine-to-machine) communication solutions. Commercial segments include VoIP E9-1-1 emergency services location, regional fleet tracking and management, supply chain container tracking, mobile meter reading, construction site tool monitoring and theft deterrence, telemedicine monitoring, automotive tracking, mobile workforce tracking, vulnerable population tracking (children, elderly), inmate monitoring, sensor monitoring, low cost mobile asset tracking, environmental and agricultural monitoring—and these are just the beginning.
S5 Wireless plans to build upon its existing success and exploit the tremendous potential within these markets.
