Indoor positioning systems (IPS) enhance operations in various industries by allowing the tracking of people and objects within large buildings. Common types include passive RFID, ultra-wideband, and Bluetooth Low Energy, each providing unique benefits for asset tracking and localization. These technologies are essential across sectors such as retail, healthcare, and aviation to improve customer experience and secure assets.

Indoor Positioning
System Types

2. Monitoring and asset tracking solutions
have simplified operations for many
industries. IPS or indoor positioning
systems make it possible to locate
objects and people inside big buildings.
From retail to hospitality to aviation to
healthcare – all sectors depend on
positioning technology to give their
customers a better experience and
safeguard business assets.

3. - Passive RFID
- Ultra-Wideband
- Bluetooth Low Energy
Three Common Types of Indoor Positioning
Systems Used Across Industries:

4. RFID stands for radio-frequency
identification. It relies on radio
waves for wirelessly transmitting
the identity of the object. It
contains a reader and
transponders. It is low
maintenance and cost-effective.
Passive RFID -

5. Ultra-Wideband -
Ultra-wideband is ideal for area-wide
localization. The indoor positioning sensor
is capable of pinpointing the location of the
asset close to few centimeters. Ultra-
wideband technology has become a familiar
term ever since iPhones started to include
UVW technology.

6. Bluetooth Low Energy -
Bluetooth Low Energy is a type of wireless
technology enabling personal area network to use
radio waves. It has become indispensable in the
beacons, security, fitness, healthcare, and
entertainment industries.

7. Indoor Position Tracking System
Indoor positioning is basically a
network of multiple devices used for
locating living and non-living things in
situations where satellite technologies
like GPS isn’t useful. Multistorey
buildings, parking garages, alleys, and
airports are some places where
location tracking via Bluetooth is of
great use.
