Mobile devices - and Apps - can define the location of the user so any venue can trigger any type of content or interaction on the phone. Different location analysing technologies, like GPS, Wifi or Beacons have different advantages and limitations, specially when it comes to huge indoor areas, like Airports, Hotels, Museums, Malls or Expo Venues. But there is may one perfect solution above all: Magnetic Field Based technologies, like IndoorAtlas.
2. There are several business situations where a mobile
app with a reliable and accurate navigation solution is
necessary.
Shopping mall
Airport Museum Exhibition hall
Retail
3. You can find many IPS
(Indoor Positioning System)
solutions to answer these needs.
If we compare them, we can see that there are
certain advantages and disadvantages connected
to each technology.
4. GPS satellite signals are blocked by roofs,
buildings and their structures
Wifi hasn’t managed to really penetrate
the market because of accuracy problems
and installation costs
iBeacon can be used for indoor positioning,
but if the area to cover is huge, the installation
can be a problem and its accuracy is still not perfect
IPS Solutions
5. • The system scans buildings for their internal
magnetic-field distortion map.
• Can define the exact location of the user
• Uses a cloud database
• Accuracy approx. 1m – best in class
• The only IPS without the need of any additional
devices
Solution – Indoor Atlas
6. The only infrastructure necessary is the building itself,
and its natural magnetic field footprint.
Indoor Atlas
7. You are here:
An app using Indoor Atlars, can send and show
relevant, acurate, location-based messages or
multimedia content to users.
8. Airport App
ARworks is already developing
and will launch an airport app
using this
magnetic field based
navigation system – in this
case, mixed with iBeacons.
