Indoor Positioning

Indoor positioning refers to technologies and systems that determine a person's or object’s location within a building, similar to how GPS works outdoors. It utilizes various methods like Wi-Fi signals, Bluetooth beacons, or sensors to pinpoint locations. This information can help people navigate complex indoor spaces, like shopping malls or airports, and can enhance services such as targeted advertising or emergency response. Unlike outdoor GPS, indoor positioning must overcome challenges like signal interference and variability in layouts, making it a developing field in technology and logistics.
