Bluetooth in Indoor Positioning Systems

The Bluetooth in Indoor Positioning Systems infographic is an overview summary of Integra Sources’s article about what IPS is and how it is used in different industries.

Many people worldwide regularly use positioning systems. The most popular of them are location services relying on geographic data and satellite navigation (GIS and GNSS). However, these systems only work efficiently outdoors and don’t work so well in enclosed areas. Indoor positioning systems are special solutions that use technologies and methods other than satellite data. Bluetooth is one of these technologies. In this article, we’ll give you a basic idea about indoor positioning systems and describe how Bluetooth positioning services work, what methods they use, and how you can implement them in your project.

In our recent article, we talked about indoor positioning systems with Bluetooth technology. To get a brief overview of this topic, you can check out the infographic below.

Infographics are a great tool for Visual Explanations. In this case the concepts Bluetooth beacons and positioning are illustrated with an isotype system. The text included is fairly minimal and references a much longer, more detailed article write-up about the concept.
