Indoors webinar series

About indoor positioning

Indoor positioning, also commonly referred to as IPS or indoor GPS, provides mobile users with detailed location information inside buildings. Adding a blue dot to the indoor map, allows users to locate themselves and navigate to any point of interest inside the building in real time. By utilizing positioning, other location based solutions such as asset tracking and analytics are enabled. These allow businesses across various industries to streamline their internal workflows, increase engagement and interaction with the building and enhance customer satisfaction. Indoors is where we spend 90% of our lifetime and also where the majority of mobile data is consumed. Providing building visitors with the best possible indoor experience and leveraging the obtained location data, helps businesses gain a leading edge and become future proof.
