Privacy Observant Location System (POLS)

Very similar to Place Lab, Intel Reseach’s POLS is a Privacy Observant Location System that provides an easy to use, on-device localization solution for mobile application developers. During the development of POLS, a large set of cell data for the Seattle Metro area was collected. The map below shows the coverage area. The combination of this data and the POLS software give a complete working location system within the coverage area.

POLS currently supports phones based on the HTC Typhoon series phone (Audiovox SMT 5600, Orange SPV C500, UTStarcom SMT 5600, I-Mate SP3/SP3i, QTEK 8010/8020, Dopod 565, MoviStar TSM 520, O2 Xphone II
