Introducing TV-GPS: GPS for dense urban areas.

Rosum

This must be my lucky day or something: a company called Rosum has gone and combined my two favorite technologies, TV and GPS, into a new uber-technology called TV-GPS.

According to Rosum’s website: “GPS signals were designed for accurate tracking and location in open outdoor areas; however, indoors and in urban areas, the technology is not reliable.

In contrast, television signals were designed for indoor reception. Rosum TV-GPS uses commercial broadcast TV signals to provide reliable positioning indoors and in urban environments. By combining TV signals with GPS signals, Rosum can provide seamless indoor/outdoor coverage across all environments.’
