Company

William A. Robinson, President and CEO of Sovereign Tracking Systems L.L.C spent over twenty years as a consultant to the US Government and was one of the founding fathers of the "Global Positioning Systems" (GPS) technology. Inspired by the limitation of the GPS technology, it would not track under cover; Bill began to formulate a concept for a reverse GPS, in which small "Satellites" (readers) could be placed in an indoor environment allowing for tracking undercover. With this technology conceived and a desire to turn his dream into reality, in early 1996 Bill Robinson founded Sovereign Technologies Corporation. As the technology continued to evolve it caught the interest of the United States military and in June of 1997, Sovereign Technologies Corporation was awarded the U.S. Army's Advance Monitoring Display System (AMDS) contract. Sovereign was now developing software to support the US Army's ground and Ariel sensors on the battlefield. With the Government contract in place, Sovereign Technologies moved into its first official offices in Manasquan, New Jersey. Over the next few months, a staff of five was hired to support the AMDS effort.

In 1997, the tracking technology that Mr. Robinson had pioneered was presented to the National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA). In October of the same year, a Beta-Site test was deployed at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center tracking equipment for the Hubble Space Telescope Project.

With the technology rapidly gaining acceptance in the market place, Sovereign began to build a strong distributor network and in 1996 the System was approved and licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC part 15).

Early in 1999, Sovereign was contracted by the Department Of Veterans Affairs and invited to participate in a series of presentations in Washington DC. Considered to be the superior technology of the five companies competing at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Memphis, Tennessee, Sovereign was awarded the contract.

In order to facilitate an installation of this magnitude, (tracking 4,000 pieces of medical equipment over 1.3 million square feet, encompassing seven buildings) Sovereign relocated to a much larger facility and increased its support staff to ten.

Sovereign Tracking Systems L.L.C, was formed in late 1999 to foster the growth of what is now known as Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) and "Total Asset Visibility".

Sovereign Tracking Systems L.L.C, remains the industry leader in tracking technologies with its cutting edge system design, industry-responsive manufacturing and innovative marketing and sales approach.

Both, Sovereign Technologies Corporation and Sovereign Tracking Systems L.L.C are privately held and located in Brick, New Jersey.
