AtSharp, a young start-up and spin-off from Artesis, aims to provide a localization service, which is low-cost and doesn’t require any infrastructure nor upfront investment. The Opportunistic Realtime Context Awareness Service (ORCA-service) has a pay-per-use model, and enables the benefits of knowing where your objects of interest are also for small organizations or deployments. The ORCA service also supports different technologies (WiFi, RFID, Bluetooth, GPS, zigbee, …) and is future-ready, since it uses an open protocol allowing any third party to design or develop custom hardware compliant with the ORCA service.
