Description
Trust Zone is the program where Location Service Providers can operate Zones, complete tasks, and provide feedback to improve FOAM Location. FOAM Location is a permissionless and autonomous network of radios that offer secure location services through time synchronization, independent of centralized sources like GPS. The goal of Trust Zone is to run FOAM Location in different geographical environments, test various zone configurations and the current prototype of the FOAM radio. The participants will have to run localization experiments and submit the results for evaluation. The decentralized FOAM Location network consists of Zone Anchors (ZA). These remotely-controlled radio nodes are coordinated to transceive LoRa packets to and from one another and configured to log those packets to a remote data store such as blockchain. The FOAM Location protocol requires at least four Zone Anchor radios to form a zone. Program participants would need to scope and test locations for all four radios.Grant Funding
