Project description
Indoor positioning on your smartphone, as reliable as GPS navigation in your car
Navigating inside large buildings such as shopping malls, hospitals, airports, trade shows, subway stations and crowded arenas can be difficult with your phone-based GPS. Your ability to navigate indoors or to let others know where you are can help you get to your destination or find friends, and it can even have an important impact on safety, security and the avoidance of congestion. The Israeli SME Galileo Satellite Navigation has developed the technology to provide indoor positioning using patented microsimulators that enable satellite reception via the existing satellite GPS infrastructure. The EU-funded GalNav InDoor project is helping the team conduct the feasibility study prior to preparing for commercialisation.
