Wheere: Transforming the Landscape of Geolocation
Wheere was established in 2019 by engineers Pierre-Arnaud Coquelin (CEO) and Antoine Carrabin (CTO), who conceived a groundbreaking idea to solve the universal challenge of location services.
The French company has introduced an innovative geolocation technology.
The startup’s technology offers precise location capabilities in both indoor and outdoor settings, distinguishing itself from GPS, which primarily functions outdoors.
Only a few antennas are necessary for comprehensive coverage, with as few as 6 antennas needed to effectively cover a 5 km x 5 km area.
Individuals and devices designated for location tracking are equipped with compact trackers weighing less than 100 grams. This cutting-edge technology allows for precise tracking within an accuracy threshold of less than 1 meter, regardless of the environment, whether indoors, outdoors, in basements, forests, or GPS-denied areas.
Wheere aims to set a new industry standard for geolocation by developing a specialized ASIC chip, expanding its presence in major global cities, and launching a constellation of satellites.
In the field of deep technology, Wheere operates with a highly skilled technical team consisting of top experts in RF, embedded electronics, and signal processing.
