ikeGPS Limited, or IKE, is an American-based New Zealand company which provides services for measuring, modeling as well as managing power and telecommunications assets.

History

The company's main business activity is selling systems aimed at assessing and deploying communications and electric utility networks.[1] IKE is headquartered in Broomfield, Colorado, with offices in Wellington, New Zealand.

Products

The company provides products which allow users to record the geodata of multiple targets together with their photographs. This is intended to be done from a distance, which can be of assistance if the user is dealing with any hard to reach or dangerous target.

In 2008, GPS World reviewed ikeGPS as the “best GPS device in the world” for its purpose, and "... a range of devices our warfighters need to have in the AOR (Area of responsibility) now".[2]

The Spike product, which is no longer available, used a phone camera, a laser-based system and mobile app software to capture location, height, width, and distance of any object with 1% accuracy.[3]

Applications

ikeGPS' software and hardware is used by communications companies, such as AT&T and over 400 North American utilities for pole loading analysis, make ready engineering and associated network.[4] Its mobile products are deployed by transportation departments, local governments, by intelligence and defense groups and other organizations for emergency management and enterprise asset management.[citation needed]
