Abstract: SATELLITE ADDRESSING CONCEPT Satellite Addressing is a process and / or concept that is developed to further enhance the means and methods currently available in the market for anyone to reach a physical point of destination. The said process and /or concept is for use by absolutely anybody to either pinpoint the exact location of their target destination or for absolutely anybody to facilitate a very convenient and accurate means of ensuring their respective intended location is pinpointed by absolutely anybody who wishes to pinpoint their exact location. The application of the said process and or concept includes but not limited to use, for business purposes, for recreational purposes, for personal purposes and for use as an effective marketing tool. In order for anyone whether individual, an organisation, a government department and/or a business to enable others to pinpoint its location and reach its intended physical target, traditional methods of providing the street address, postal address, PO Box, Post code and/or zip code are the most commonly used methods. Also, in order for anyone to locate and find a desired physical target location the use of street directories, Maps and/or Satellite Navigation Systems are by far the most commonly used methods. Whilst these are effective and reliable methods of indicating, pinpointing and finding the desired target locations, there are inherent weaknesses in all these methods. In highly competitive markets of today, it is essential for individuals, businesses and/or organisations private or otherwise to make themselves more readily and easily accessible to potential clients. It is even more crucial for retail businesses to do whatever possible to make sure their customers are able to locate their premises, offices, stores, factories or their places of business, easily, rapidly and without wasting valuable time. In today's business environment, all other things being equal, the speed with which a product or service is delivered and/or is made accessible and available to the end user is of paramount importance and more often than not this can be and is the deciding factor for the end user. Following the same principle, the ease with which a potential customer can locate the place of business which provides the desired product or service is a major contributing factor to successful completion of the business transaction between that supplier and its customer. Equally important, if not more, is the need for emergency services to be able to reach the location where the emergency assistance is needed as quickly as possible. It is also very important to introduce enhance methods to improve the ability of anyone who needs to reach an emergency service point such as a hospital, a medical clinic, a police station and/or suchlike to accurately pinpoint and reach such desired location with ease and fast. The Satellite Addressing Concept relies on using latitude and longitude coordinates of the point as a mean to specify a unique and unmistakable destination address. These coordinates are not affected by changes in street numbering system nor can they be affected by any change in street names, these are never out-dated nor do they require updating or upgrading.
