It isn't just Polte, the last I had reviewed Geotraq ditched that MediaTek Chip in favor of an LTE/NB-iOT Chip from Sequans (Pierre Parent's doing). I had spoken a number of times with some of the key Polte R&D Folks in 2020. They mostly have worked for years in Military SONAR and RADAR. The 2 Engineers I was speaking with had over 30 Patents on SONAR/RADAR Location Techniques. Really cool stuff. Essentially they have adapted their techniques for Cellular. With O-RAN they are making moves to get things added into the key EnodeB and GnodeBs for 4G/5G as a lot of the newer Antenna Arrays "Massive MIMO" do Beam Forming towards individual Devices.

The key challenge for Polte is getting their "Client-Side" Code Ported and Tested on the various 4G/LTE/5G/iOT Radio Modem ICs. I actually have a few 5G Modems I am waiting on them to finish porting. I have a couple 5G Products using the Telit FN980(m). https://www.telit.com/devices/fn980-and-fn980m-data-cards-support-5g/

Geotraq in any form is still a "Day Late and a Dollar Short". I have still thought the Form Factor of that Module is not conducive to easy System Integration for Telecom Industry Products.

Also, in 5G a lot of really amazing Location-Based Services are becoming a Reality especially for "First Responders".

Well EXGeotraqEmp1, I hope you landed a better Telecom R&D Job. I still remember when all of you Peeps got Axed. I almost would have been right there with you all.

Oh did you ever read that Bogus Patent granted to Gregg Sullivan?
