What ELi Technology does

ELi Technology is a Halifax, Nova Scotia-based private company founded in 2017 that develops patented indoor location technology for emergency response and safety applications. Its core technology, EML (Emergency Mobile Location), converts existing Wi-Fi Access Point identifiers (BSSIDs) into a network of verified location datapoints, providing dispatchable addresses with floor- and room-level precision for mobile emergency calls without requiring additional hardware infrastructure. The platform is delivered as ATLS Location Services, a cloud-based service hosted on AWS, with an ATLS-TAK Plugin that extends the stack into tactical and defense use cases via integration with the Team Awareness Kit. The technology has been validated by the Research Institute of Sweden and engineered to comply with Kari's Law, the Ray Baum Act, Alyssa's Law, EU EECC Article 109, GDPR, and the American Hotel & Lodging Association's 5-Star Promise.

The company monetizes through enterprise SaaS subscriptions sold via quote-based pricing, distributed through direct enterprise field sales and a B2B2B OEM channel embedded in third-party safety applications. Target customers span K–12 schools, higher education institutions, corporate enterprises, and public safety answering points (PSAPs), with tested deployments across the United States, Canada, Europe, and the Middle East. Disclosed funding is limited to a single $108,871 round in November 2020, and the company operates with 11–50 employees, indicating an early-stage operating profile despite a multi-year regulatory and geographic footprint.

Core offering

ELi Technology develops patented indoor location technology that converts existing Wi-Fi Access Point data (BSSIDs) into verified dispatchable location datapoints. Its cloud-based ATLS platform delivers real-time room-level and floor-level location intelligence for safety, security, facility management, and emergency response applications, integrating with existing panic alert, crisis communication, and notification systems without requiring additional hardware.

Product overview

ELi Technology offers a unified platform of indoor location technology products designed for emergency and safety applications. The core offering consists of EML (Emergency Mobile Location), a patented location technology that provides dispatchable addresses for mobile emergency calls by leveraging existing Wi-Fi infrastructure, and ATLS Location Services, a cloud-based real-time location intelligence platform that integrates with existing safety applications to deliver room-level and floor-level location data displayed on digital floor plans. ATLS is enhanced by the ATLS-TAK Plugin, which extends tactical location intelligence to Team Awareness Kit users for mission-critical operations. The products work together to address the challenge of accurate indoor location for emergency services, requiring no additional infrastructure beyond existing Wi-Fi networks.

Products and services

• EML (Emergency Mobile Location) A patented location technology that provides accurate dispatchable location for all mobile emergency calls by turning existing Wi-Fi Access Point data (BSSIDs) into verified location datapoints. EML enables emergency responders to receive floor level and room number information regardless of building complexity, tested across the US, Europe, Canada, and the Middle East.
• ATLS Location Services A cloud-based indoor location intelligence service hosted on AWS that delivers real-time, accurate indoor and outdoor location information with room-level and floor-level precision. ATLS integrates with existing panic alert, crisis communication, notification software, and safety applications to display verified dispatchable addresses on digital floor plans for emergency response coordination.
• ATLS-TAK Plugin A tactical plugin for Team Awareness Kit (TAK) that brings real-time, room-level intelligence to mission-critical operations. The plugin enables precise indoor location tracking for response teams with multi-user location visualization, floor-level and room number identification, and seamless outdoor-to-indoor transitions for urban operations, search and rescue, and tactical missions.

Direct peers

• Polaris Wireless: Location-based services provider specializing in E911 and E112 location determination for carriers, with indoor and 3D-location capabilities. Competes in the same mobile-emergency-location accuracy problem that EML solves, with deep carrier relationships.
• Inpixon: Indoor positioning and intelligence platform using Wi-Fi, BLE, and other signals to deliver real-time indoor location and analytics. Competes in indoor/asset location and security/safety analytics, with broader enterprise and government deployments.
• Carbyne: Cloud-based emergency calling and response platform that delivers real-time caller location, video, and data to PSAPs. Highly comparable to ELi's EML/ATLS positioning around rich location data for mobile emergency calls, with stronger carrier-integration footprint globally.
• NextNav: Specializes in z-axis and indoor/vertical location services for E911, public safety, and commercial applications, including a 'dispatchable location' offering. Direct competitor for indoor/vertical emergency location, addressing the same accuracy gap ELi targets.
• RapidSOS: Provides an emergency response data platform that links smartphones, connected devices, and sensors directly to 9-1-1/PSAPs with rich caller and location data. Direct comparable in the E911 dispatchable-location and safety-data layer ELi operates in, though RapidSOS is broader and well-funded.
• 911inform: Emergency notification and incident-management platform for K-12, higher education, and enterprise that integrates with panic buttons, indoor mapping, and dispatchable location. Overlaps with ELi's K-12 and higher-ed safety vertical and could either compete or integrate as a channel partner.

Broad incumbents

• Intrado (LifeSafe / Emergency Response): Major incumbent in 9-1-1/E911 infrastructure, PSAP software, and emergency response services. Larger, established player addressing overlapping dispatchable-location and emergency-call-routing needs across US PSAPs.
• Cisco DNA Spaces (location services): Cisco's location-services and analytics layer sits on top of enterprise Wi-Fi infrastructure and offers indoor location, asset tracking, and people-counting features. A broader-incumbent threat that bundles indoor location into networking hardware many ELi customers already own.
• Aruba (HPE) Location Services: Wi-Fi-based indoor location, asset tracking, and wayfinding services bundled with Aruba access points and Meridian platform. Competes in K-12, higher ed, and enterprise indoor location as part of a broader networking portfolio.
• Esri (ArcGIS Indoors / Public Safety): GIS and indoor mapping platform (ArcGIS Indoors) widely used by PSAPs, public safety agencies, and large enterprises for indoor floor plans, indoor routing, and emergency response visualization. Adjacent incumbent that owns the mapping/floor-plan layer ELi displays location on.
