ULF-MC's primary application areas include:
• Indoor navigation
• Mobile payment apps for POS & ATM
• Individualised advertising
Though designed for indoor use by humans, ULF-MC can also be used to extend the reach of GNSS to tunnels for car navigation or to increase outdoor accuracy related to points of interest (e.g. for blind people). A demo has already been developed and tested at Fraunhofer AICOS. A patent is pending in Europe and the United States.
ULF-MC is a technology award winner of the Galileo Master prize at the European Sattelite Navigation 2012 edition (highest distinction).
