New technology can track a phone with an accuracy of one meter

The technology, which is called RTK, according to company representatives, can be accurate to one meter

It should be noted that earlier such accuracy could only be achieved with the help of expensive equipment.Also, the developers promise, the new technology is able to reduce signal interference.

Oppo added that the first mobile devices with RTK will hit the market next year. 

OPPO is working closely with China Mobile to implement this technology.The company, in turn, is working on the deployment of a ground system and 5G towers.To achieve high accuracy, the algorithm uses information from GPS, mobile network, and sensors in the smartphone, such as a gyroscope. 

Also, the alliance will contribute to furtherpromoting high precision positioning technologies in many industries and achieving convenient positioning for a wider range of ordinary consumers.
