Stan Honey Joins TERN Advisory Board as U.S. Seeks GPS Alternatives

TERN, the developer of IDPS, announced that Stan Honey – world class navigator, legendary inventor of the first in-car navigation system, and co-founder of Etak – has joined its advisory board. Honey brings decades of leadership in real-time positioning technologies, including map-matching, virtual sports overlays, and offshore navigation.

Lost in Transit | Whitepaper by Tern: Why the Smallest Missed Turn Could Cost Millions

Learn how to boost operational efficiency, increase profitability, and reduce carbon emission with Tern’s IDPS. In our white paper, we explore a silent culprit behind rising costs in logistics and delivery: navigational inefficiency. What starts as a 3-minute delay ripples into fuel waste, wage inflation, and excess emissions – multiplied across thousands of vehicles.

GPS: It’s Time to Cut the Cord

We’ve seen the power of cutting the cord in communication and entertainment, and it’s time to do the same for navigation. The risks of relying solely on triangulation are too great, and the technology to overcome these limitations is already here. It’s time to embrace a future where navigation is intelligent, safer, and truly independent.

AI-Based GPS Without Satellites: The Future Of Navigation

Every minute of every day, our cars and phones look to the heavens for guidance. But what if they could navigate by listening to the earth instead? Austin-based startup Tern AI has demonstrated a groundbreaking positioning system that can navigate without satellites—potentially transforming how we move through the world while addressing critical national security concerns.

TERN’s low-cost GPS alternative actually works

“No triangulation, no satellites, no Wi-Fi, nothing. We just figure out where we are as we drive,” Brett Harrison, co-founder and president, told TechCrunch while Cyrus Behroozi, senior software developer at Tern, loaded up the demo on his iPhone. “That’s really game changing because as we move away from triangulation-based, which limits technology, now we have the ability to be fully off that grid.”

Tern AI wants to reduce reliance on GPS with low-cost navigation alternative

Published on TechCrunch by Rebecca Bellan 11:27 AM PDT • June 12, 2024 The most critical systems of our modern world rely on GPS, from aviation and road networks to emergency and disaster response, from precision farming and power grids to weather forecasting and military defense. That dependence is becoming a problem. “We’ve got an increased threat from … Continued
