Virtual Shadow™ - Your Solution for Degraded GPS

What is Virtual Shadow?

Virtual Shadow™is the perfect compliment to GPS. Virtual Shadow™ is a proprietary, ground-breaking, technology. Virtual Shadow™ Route Following uses precision micro sensors to determine personnel or asset location when GPS is unavailable or unreliable. Virtual Shadow™operates independently of GPS or any other data transmissions or cellular services (i.e., delta positioning, direction finding, or triangulation techniques).

How Virtual Shadow™ Works

Virtual Shadow™ seamlessly takes over tracking and positioning functions when GPS signals are unavailable, unreliable, or degraded. With Virtual Shadow™, you can truly monitor location movement, virtually anywhere, anytime, whether indoors or outdoors. Virtual Shadow™ technology uses miniature, self-contained, electronic sensors that provide position data relative to the point of last good GPS data, or initialization point. It is specifically engineered to augment GPS reception during times of signal degradation or signal outages.

Filling Your Needs

Virtual Shadow™ was developed to solve route following errors inherent in all GPS tracking systems. Senior United States Government leaders often express serious concerns regarding the ineffectiveness of GPS-only systems; especially during emergency situations. Virtual Shadow™ provides a complete and successful solution to GPS concerns. In over seven years of development, Virtual Technologies, Ltd. worked extensively with the National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center (NLECTC) at the US Department of Justice (DOJ), as well as over 100 major law enforcement bureaus, agencies and departments.

Virtual Shadow™ Applications

Since Virtual Shadow™ uses internal sensors to provide a continuous calculated 3-dimensional position, it is ideal for the following GPS augmentation applications.

 

Location Finding: Emergencies • E-911 • Express Couriers • Child Safety • Medical Patients • Offender Tracking • Military • Public Safety • Police • Fire • First Responders • Utility Workers
