Indoor Positioning Makes the World Smarter

11/19/2025

Indoor positioning determines the location of people or objects inside buildings where GPS is unreliable. It relies on wireless signals, sensors, or other technologies to deliver accurate real-time location data.

01. Key Technologies

  1. Wi-Fi Positioning – Uses signal strength and AP locations (fingerprinting, triangulation).

  2. Bluetooth (BLE) Positioning – Beacon-based, via RSSI, fingerprinting, or ToF.

  3. UWB (Ultra-Wideband) – High-precision (cm-level) using ToF or TDoA, strong anti-interference.

  4. Inertial Navigation – Accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers for dead-reckoning.

  5. RFID Positioning – Tags + readers for real-time asset tracking.

Each technology suits different accuracy, cost, and deployment needs.

02. Advantages

  • Better User Experience – Fast indoor navigation in malls, airports, hospitals.

  • Enhanced Safety – Real-time personnel/asset monitoring in factories, hospitals, large venues.

  • Higher Efficiency – Optimized logistics, warehouse management, production lines.

  • Personalized Services – Location-based promotions, recommendations.

  • Smart Buildings & Homes – Enables auto-lighting, climate control, security.

  • New Applications – AR/VR navigation, virtual tours, indoor analytics.
