Get answers about indoor positioning technology, BLE beacons, Ultra-Wideband (UWB), and RTLS implementation with Locatify.
In this step by step guide, you'll learn how to make an inside project in the CMS; add floors, stations, and Beacons and publish your project to an app.
It takes a few seconds to detect a beacon that's in range to trigger the associated content. You can change the advertising interval to improve it slightly.
The beacon’s transmission power (Tx) can be configured from 0 to 7 in the app that you most likely got from your beacon provider. The higher the transmission power, the
BLE Beacons (iBeacons) are identified by three properties, unique for each device. They are Major number, Minor number, and UUID.
Any application that requires location-based delivery of content or tracking of mobile devices. Applications can utilize beacons for indoor positioning by reading the proximate distance to individual beacons or by using
There are multiple UWB providers, each with different pros, cons, and techniques. Locatify searched far and wide and has partnered with a leading industry manufacturer to directly supply UWB hardware
We recommend using either Kontakt.io or Estimote beacons for best performance and price. They both use the same chipset but package them differently. Kontakt.io beacons are plain and durable with
iBeacon™ is a trademark registered by Apple and refers to how Apple’s iOS devices detect beacons. Apple was the first smartphone manufacturer to include BLE in their iOS operating system as
Whether to use BLE or UWB for your indoor positioning project will depend on a number of factors. The main considerations are budget, positioning accuracy, latency requirements, and the ability
Ultra-wideband or UWB refers to a spectrum of radio signals which can be used for accurate indoor positioning down to 30cm accuracy. UWB requires slightly more hardware than BLE beacons, but
