Dallas-based PoLTE Corporation, a developer of 'Positioning over LTE (PoLTE)' technology which it claims as the next generation location services technology is revolutionizing the market for location-based data services by leveraging carriers’ vast terrestrial LTE networks to accurately locate phones and devices in the network, whether indoors or out. Unlike localized solutions, such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the company's technology leverages PoLTE Macro to provide a universally available, integrated global platform that ensures user privacy that leverages the inherent security of the LTE network.
According to PoLTE Corporation, it allows its partners – chip developers, wireless carriers, or handset manufacturers – to leverage their existing infrastructure to deliver and monetize highly accurate and reliable location services to a multitude of valuable markets including retail, public safety, enterprise and the Internet of Things (IoT).
The company's current solutions include PoLTE Macro, PoLTE Local and PoLTE IoT. All solutions are universally available, network-based, seamlessly transition from outdoor to indoor locations and provide the ability to track a 4G or LTE phone independent of handset manufacturer or operating system.

PoLTE delivers on the promise of true location. Our technology goes beyond current WiFi and Bluetooth offerings by providing a cost effective, scalable location services solution that is easy to deploy, use and maintain.
Ken Thompson, investor in PoLTE
The industry is severely fragmented and serviced by cumbersome solutions. PoLTE enables the carrier to play a leading role in the industry where before they have been disintermediated with a solution that leverages their infrastructure and ubiquitous market reach.
