About AtSharp
AtSharp a spin-off of Antwerp University (Artesis) specialized in localization (o.a. GPS).
In the ESA BIC project a stackable chip has been developed combining different localizations technologies (GPS, RFID, WiFi, dash 7, ...) together with back-office algorithms (ORCA) – cloud service providing location data based on combination of technologies

The challenge
Combining different technologies for localization into an efficient algorithm.
The solution
ORCA (Opportunistic Realtime Context Awareness) being an online platform, the need for dedicated infrastructure lapsed The opportunistic nature of the ORCA service implies both support for readily available infrastructure (reducing cost) in the environment (such as Wi-Fi networks, RFID badge scanners, laptops, smartphones, GPS satellites…) and combination of technologies.
