Taking location services to a greater extend, Qualcomm launches its new technology Qualcomm IZat. No need to scratch your heads just because you don’t know what is Qualcomm IZat. Qualcomm has been continuously working to bring indoor location features on the map. Qualcomm IZat is not only about a point on a map and gets directions.
With the growing need for technology, even if your smartphone is packed with lots of features, there will be one or the other feature that you would love to have. Now and then, the need for unique features is making all the hype.
Qualcomm IZat main motive is to bring geolocation beyond the point of when and where to what and who. IZat fetches location constantly and navigates you through a building. The technology can determine the precise location and can help with navigation.
How exactly does Qualcomm IZat work? How does it make use of the exact indoor location? That’s the specific question that comes to mind when we talk about fetching indoor locations. IZat provides the exact location by providing the location of their wireless access points.
To put in other words, we all know that sometimes, GPS just doesn’t work properly when we are in a building, parking lot or a basement. That’ for sure, that every single person has gotten the idea of what I’m trying to say. We tend to get lost. This was the main reason, why Qualcomm came up with IZat. The chip manufacturer company wanted to develop such a technology which can help better and penetrate much deeper to help with step by step navigation.
Qualcomm launched its IZat technology in LG newest smartphone, LG G3. If you are using this LG G3 then you can find the Qualcomm IZat in your phone’s settings. The new easy to use digital technology fetched the indoor location and unlocks more potentials of location services.
Qualcomm IZat can be used to pull up relevant and customized data of your exact location beyond just a point on a map. Just for example, as described by Qualcomm, IZat can let you know if your favorite store in a mall is having a sale. That’s one hell of a feature. Shopping lovers, this feature is invented for you guys.
To determine a very precise indoor location, IZat combines wifi technology, the phone’s accelerometer and much more and determines the indoor location that is based on the proximity to known wireless access points. By receiving a combination of signals, IZat tends to fetch high accuracy of the triangulation of your current location.
With Qualcomm IZat you can navigate through a building just like you navigate around the street using GPS. However, since the IZat is built into the modem, it does not drain the phone’s battery. Now, that is some news.
To put some light on some great features the technology brings is that it helps you get to an area or a store in a building. You can navigate to the store on foot in a building as you do in a car on a street. While shopping, or while meeting at a place with your friends, you guys might be at a different location and are unable to find each other even after communication.
Now here is when IZat comes in the scenario to help. You can ping the location and find your friends easily without wandering and getting confused in search.
As of now, Qualcomm IZat can only be operated in South Korea. But, there are several obstructions that Qualcomm needs to overcome before IZat is utilized around the world.
I hope the information provided gives you guys some insight into Qualcomm technology.
