WiFi Location
thriivePRO can detect WiFi hotspots around the user to enable care specialists to quickly locate the user in an emergency and to help determine if the user is at home. WiFi location uses very little battery power.
A-GPS Technology
thriivePRO utilizes A-GPS technology. A-GPS stands for Assisted Global Positioning System. Compared with regular GPS systems, A-GPS provides much faster positioning even when GPS signal conditions are weak. A-GPS takes less power (saving battery life) and time to acquire satellite and cell tower signals and finds the user quicker
Under regular, stand-alone GPS operation, a GPS receiver typically needs more than 30 seconds to receive the satellite position data and other satellite information required to compute a position. In weak signal areas such as urban canyons, building interiors or locations surrounded by tall trees, where the receiver has limited or no direct access to the open sky, determining a positioning can take much longer.
Our quick A-GPS can locate a moving object within 5 yards in most cases, depending on the signal strength from satellites and cell towers.
Cellular Triangulation
thriivePRO can default to cellular triangulation enabling care specialists to determine if the user is likely at home, enabling faster dispatch.
