Vodafone Tests New Tech That Can Track Vehicles, Drones And Precious Cargo Remotely Within Centimetres USA - English News provided by Share this article Share this article LONDON, Feb. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Autonomous trucks need to warn e-bikes of their presence to avoid accidents, first responders need to know the position of critical medical drones with pinpoint accuracy, and operators need to precisely locate precious cargo. Vodafone customers will have applications that do all that and more thanks to a new technology it is testing. Vodafone has successfully used new precision positioning technology to remotely track a vehicle to within just 10 centimetres of its location, an improvement of more than three metres compared with current standard satellite based systems. It did this in partnership with leading global positioning provider Sapcorda, using Vodafone's global Internet of Things (IoT) platform – the largest in the world with 118 million connections.
