Trusted Collective
MESH is Trusted Positioning’s collaborative positioning capability. It enables multiple positioning systems operating on the same platform to share positioning context, supporting continuity and consistency within that platform - particularly when individual sensors or signals are constrained.
Why MESH Exists
Modern platforms increasingly contain more than one positioning-enabled system.
A single vehicle may include:
A telematics positioning system
An ADAS positioning system
A mobile device carried inside the vehicle
A single person may carry:
A smartphone
A smartwatch
Smart glasses
Each system operates independently, even though they share the same physical environment.
MESH was developed to support platforms where multiple positioning systems operate together on the same vehicle or the same person, enabling them to exchange positioning context rather than operate in isolation.
Improved Accuracy on Multiple Systems, Same Platform
On a single platform, multiple positioning systems may rely on:
Separate GNSS receivers
Separate inertial sensors
Independent sensor fusion engines
Even though they experience the same motion and environment, they interpret positioning independently.
This can limit:
Alignment between systems on the same platform
Consistency across applications
Visibility into positioning behavior within a shared environment
How MESH Works
MESH combines multiple individual systems on a single platform to form a single output with more accuracy and availability
Position estimates
Motion and inertial insight
Confidence and constraints
This shared information supports positioning continuity and consistency within that platform while avoiding infrastructure-heavy dependencies.
An Example: MESH of a Multi-System Vehicle Platform
Consider a vehicle where a single user operates multiple positioning-enabled devices at the same time.
For example:
A vehicle equipped with TRACK
A smartphone carried by the user in their pocket
A smartwatch worn on the wrist
Smart glasses worn by the driver
The red trajectory represents the MESH solution, combining all available sensor data to produce the most accurate and stable vehicle position.
Each device operates with its own sensors and positioning capabilities. these systems - operating on the same vehicle platform - can participate in a shared positioning context.
Rather than treating each positioning engine as an isolated unit, MESH enables context exchange across systems experiencing the same motion and environment.
An Example: MESH of a Multi-Device Wearables
MESH also applies to a single person carrying multiple positioning-enabled devices:
-
A smartphone
-
A smartglasses
All devices are exposed to the same movement and environmental conditions as the person moves. MESH enables these systems to exchange positioning context while remainingindependent positioning engines.
Who MESH Is For
MESH is designed for teams building platforms that contain multiple positioning systems operating on the same physical entity, including:
Automotive platforms with telematics and ADAS systems
Consumer platforms with multiple wearable devices

Integrated systems where several INS/GNSS engines coexist on one vehicle or person
If your platform includes more than one positioning system, MESH is designed to support coordination within that platform.
Where MESH Is Applied
MESH is not deployed as a standalone product. It is designed to be applied within Trusted Positioning solutions, including:
In each case, MESH supports architectures where multiple positioning engines coexist on the same platform.
Why MESH?
MESH supports positioning architectures that emphasize:
Shared context within a platform
Alignment between co-located systems
Consistency across applications operating on the same vehicle or person
Efficient system-level performance
By enabling collaborative positioning within a platform, MESH strengthens coordination while preserving independent device-level intelligence.
Improved Accuracy on a Single Platform
As modern vehicles and wearable ecosystems integrate multiple positioning systems, MESH provides a collaborative framework designed specifically for intra-platform coordination.
It is an architectural capability built to support how integrated platforms are designed and deployed.
