Towards Accurate and Robust Localization for a Proof of Location Protocol A positioning system can be defined as a procedure used to obtain spatial information about a tracked object with respect to a set of reference points. To a large extent, localization services are based and rely on global satellite navigation systems (GNSS) like GPS (Global Positioning System). There are a number of techniques used by positioning systems without the use of GPS, utilizing radio frequency transmissions to...

FOAM Trust Zone Location Scouting Bounties are Now Live on Gitcoin! In our previous post we shared updates on the Trust Zone Program (TZP), a permissioned beta program focused on stress-testing FOAM radios (”Zone Anchors”) for a Proof of Location network. https://mirror.xyz/foamspace.eth/b2SZfhvXUOalxB5_br3_XszmuMxqBEg2stEQDkaWcbg To form a Zone of coverage a minimum of 4 Zone Anchor radios are required, for the beta-program, visual line-of-sight and distance of roughly 300m-4000m between eac...

FOAM is a Proof of Location technology for applications needing secure location services. It enables a handshake between the location service providers and the user, proving the user’s location. Terrestrial radios and time-of-flight algorithms are used to perform localizations, and digital signatures ensure the location data cannot be spoofed. The system is completely independent of satellite-based location services like GPS.IntroductionThis has been an exciting year for FOAM. Earlier in the ...

The goal of the Trust Zone program is to have select partners run the FOAM protocol in different geographical environments and test different zone configurations. The selected participant partners will also assemble the current prototype of the Zone Anchor, secure a minimum of four locations for installation, run localization experiments and submit the results for evaluation. This is a beta testing program for early qualified stakeholders aligned with the mission of the protocol to contribute...
