What is Chrono Locate™ technology?

It is a positioning infrastructure that does not rely on GNSS (satellite positioning systems) and applies Seiko's time synchronization technology to obtain centimeter-level accurate location information in real-time, even in areas where satellite signals are difficult to reach, such as indoors or underground.

Where is its application expected?

Its application is expected in construction sites and social infrastructure management where GNSS is difficult to use, such as inside tunnels, underground spaces, under elevated structures in urban areas, and indoor construction areas.

What is the difference from existing location technologies?

It simultaneously addresses the issues of accuracy, stability, and wide-area coverage that were challenges in traditional indoor positioning technologies. It can provide high-precision positioning in environments where GNSS struggles. Unlike one-way communication from satellites, it uses two-way communication with ground stations.
