Ideal Customer
- ELi Technology's ideal customers are organizations that already use safety, crisis communication, or emergency management software and need to upgrade the indoor location accuracy of those platforms without adding new hardware infrastructure.
- Primary sweet spots include K-12 school districts and universities seeking compliance with Kari's Law, Ray Baum's Act, and Alyssa's Law, as well as PSAPs and telecom operators looking to meet Next Generation 9-1-1/112 standards.
Key Differentiators
- ELi Technology's core differentiator is its patented EML methodology, which it claims is the world's first and only location technology capable of delivering a verified, authoritative dispatchable address with indoor and vertical precision (floor and room number) on any mobile device without any additional hardware or infrastructure.
- Unlike competing approaches that rely on crowd-sourced Wi-Fi, GPS, cell towers, or Bluetooth beacons—which provide only broad search areas and struggle indoors—EML uses existing Wi-Fi Access Point BSSIDs converted into encrypted, verified location datapoints.
Industries Served
- ELi Technology primarily serves public safety (PSAPs, 9-1-1/112 operators, first responders), K-12 education, higher education/campus safety, corporate enterprise/private networks, and tactical/defense markets including law enforcement and military.
- Their ATLS product is marketed specifically toward school safety applications (K-12 and universities), while EML addresses telecom operators and public safety answering points.
Service Coverage
- ELi Technology is headquartered in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, with additional office presence in Stockholm, Sweden and Ozark, Missouri, USA.
- The company's EML technology has been real-world tested across Canada, Sweden, Romania, the United States, the Middle East, and Barbados, and it targets both North American (9-1-1) and European (112/NG112) emergency services markets.
Partnerships
- ELi Technology's most significant technology partnership is with GeoComm (St. Cloud, MN), whose indoor/outdoor GIS mapping technology powers the ATLS Location Service when combined with ELi's patented EML methodology.
- Integration partners include Reach School Life Management Systems (student emergency response), CrisisGo (K-12 safety alerting via Safety iResponse), and Critical Response Group (Collaborative Response Graphics for floor-plan-based emergency management).
Company Size & Ownership
- ELi Technology was founded in 2017 by Peter Woodford (CEO) and Dennis Young, and is headquartered in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
- Employee counts vary by source: LinkedIn and Crunchbase report 11–50 employees, PitchBook reports approximately 13, and Tracxn reports 49 as of May 2025, suggesting recent growth.
Compliance & Certifications
- ELi Technology's EML is explicitly GDPR-compliant, with location data encrypted in transport and never associated with individual identities.
- EML is designed to meet and exceed compliance with the US Ray Baum's Act, FCC Kari's Law, Alyssa's Law for School Safety, and Europe's EECC Directive 2018/1972 Article 109 for Next Generation 112 emergency services.

Offerings
3 offeringsATLS Location Services
ATLS is a cloud-based indoor location intelligence service hosted on AWS that integrates with existing panic alert, crisis communication, notification software, and safety management platforms. It delivers real-time, precise indoor and outdoor location intelligence accurate to room number and floor level, displayed on an indoor floor plan, with no additional infrastructure, hardware upgrades, or maintenance fees required. It exceeds compliance with FCC Kari's Law, the Ray Baum Act, and Alyssa's Law for School Safety, and supports use cases from staff check-ins to active threat, lockdown, and evacuation scenarios.
ATLS-TAK Plugin
The ATLS-TAK Plugin extends ELi's ATLS indoor location intelligence into the TAK (Team Awareness Kit) platform used by police and tactical response teams. It provides real-time, room-level precision positioning with indoor floor plan visualization, multi-user location tracking, and seamless outdoor-to-indoor location transitions to fill the indoor location gap in traditional TAK capabilities. It is designed for mission-critical applications including urban operations, search and rescue, event security, and hostage rescue and counterterrorism.
EML (Emergency Mobile Location) Methodology
EML is a patented location technology that provides accurate and precise dispatchable location for emergency mobile calls on any mobile device. It works by converting existing Wi-Fi Access Point data and BSSIDs into a network of verified, encrypted location datapoints, enabling handsets to pinpoint a caller's specific indoor and vertical location including floor level and room number. It is designed to meet Next Generation emergency services standards, supports VoIP, VoLTE, and SIP, and has been tested across the US, Europe, Canada, and the Middle East.
