Who would pay

Consumers who value privacy and mobile users resisting surveillance, willing to pay for privacy protection products.

Current workarounds

Current positioning technologies are accurate and cannot be adjusted by users, causing privacy concerns and surveillance risks.

MVP idea

Develop directional antennas or local shielding devices that can be installed on phones or accessories to reduce base station positioning accuracy and enhance user privacy protection.

How to validate

Conduct small-scale user tests to measure the device’s impact on positioning accuracy, collect user feedback and market acceptance; risks include technical complexity and potential impacts on communication quality.
