Albora’s powerful technology provides continuous high-precision geolocational positioning in the most difficult environments. From urban and industrial areas, to critical infrastructure, Albora utilises its software to provide an affordable, scalable and ubiquitous solution.

Albora was founded by Anselm Adams in 2017 with the intention to address the most pressing problems faced when using geolocational technology. His aim was to create a solution that provides continuous positioning that maintains its accuracy at all times.

Anselm explains:

All the solutions available were hardware focused, we knew we could disrupt the market with a software focused solution that’s extremely accurate, but also constantly improving. Not only will this offer customers and clients consistent updates that can be rolled out quickly and cost effectively, it’s extremely versatile and can connect with anything that has a GPS, from mobile phones, to smart watches, to E-scooters.”

Through assembling a multi-disciplinary team with backgrounds in business, technology, engineering and academia, Albora has created a unique technological solution that can pinpoint geolocational positioning with centimetre accuracy.

Anselm states that the key benefit to being involved in the Zenzic CAM Scale-Up programme is the springboard it provides to connect with new clients as well as the opportunity it offers to show how highly accurate, reliable and robust Albora’s technology is.

What makes Albora special?

Albora addresses the key issues faced when using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) to provide position information. Currently urban canyons result in position errors of between 15-500m, while positioning in indoor environments like multi-story car parks provides no information at all. In response to these challenges, Albora delivers robust, accurate data across all environments. It’s set up with central GNSS processing that works across all platforms including cloud, edge or local servers and can monitor geolocation both on and off premises.

Albora combines advanced GNSS algorithms with Dead Reckoning (DR) to provide high-accuracy geolocation that feeds back in real time and is precise to the centimetre. A key benefit of Albora’s technology is its capacity to augment information captured in the vehicle from GNSS, inertial sensors, and car telemetry. This provides robust feedback that isn’t negatively impacted when there’s no satellite view.

Using software-based technology makes it easy to integrate with existing devices, while also providing the capability to continuously monitor the geolocation of hundreds of thousands of assets or people in a central point. It’s a sustainable business model that moves the processing away from hardware, substantially reducing energy consumption, while offering high-performing, accurate information at a fraction of the price. The SaaS model also removes the need for costly hardware updates that need to be retrofitted, instead offering remote, regular software updates that will keep their clients benefitting from the cutting edge of GNSS technology.
