Challenge – Available Indoors Positioning Solutions do Not Work
Navigation is being used by consumers from many years ago. Initially integrated to specialized navigation units held by small number of users only. The major breakthrough started when GPS was integrated into mobile phones what made the use as wide as the use of Smartphone’s.
Navigation is used today by Consumers almost every time they drive their car, walk in search of an address, bike in the nature or hike.
We Also Need Positioning Indoors.
Europeans spend 90% of their time indoors . Whether we are at work in office buildings or small industrial sites, are at home, go to malls and entertainment centers or take transportation, we are indoors. When indoors, we would like to be able and navigate the same as we do outdoors but GPS does not work. There have been many attempts to providing indoor positioning but there is no real solution yet.
The Good News: We All Have Phones.
Recent years brought the mobile phone revolution with 67.3% Europeans having a smartphone . And, whereas only high-end phones used to have these features, virtually 100% of the mid-tier mainstream smartphones are equipped with a GNSS receiver.
Positioning Does Not Just Help Us Get from A to B.
Heaving location aware devices has boosted the navigation market applications. People today use their devices very intensively to get directions from one location to another and to receive location-based advertisements and coupons. When we disclose our location, we can receive specialized promotions, coupons and tips.
The Bad News: Available Indoors Positioning Solutions do Not Work.
Although there are many different applications and technologies that have been created to provide a solution, none of them really works or has been widely adopted. Plus, phone manufacturers prefer not to implement further positioning hardware.
