Pointr Indoor Location (Blue Dot)¶
Pointr Indoor Location offers precise indoor positioning, also known as ‘Blue Dot,’ allowing users to accurately locate themselves on digital maps within buildings.
Overview¶
Traditional GPS has limited functionality indoors due to signal blockage. Pointr Indoor Location (Blue Dot) offers a high-performing alternative to GPS for indoor environments. The patented Deep Location® technology provides highly accurate indoor positioning with a quick setup and seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor signals. This allows users to easily navigate within designated sites—including indoor and outdoor areas—using a digital map with a blue dot indicating their precise location.
How it works¶
Get pinpoint location accuracy indoors. Pointr Blue Dot uses a combination of:
- Bluetooth signals: Beacons, Smart Lighting or WiFi Access Points that leverage Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) signals placed around the building provide location data.
- Smartphone sensors: Motion detectors such as gyroscopes and other devices on your phone help track movement.
- Smart AI engine: Our patented AI technology continuously learns and improves accuracy, achieving 1-3 meters of precision.
No complex setup, unreliable compasses, or frequent adjustments needed—it consistently works even in tricky indoor environments or without internet.
Highlights¶
- Quick setup: Get started quickly with affordable beacons from our hardware partners or use your existing hardware (such as Bluetooth-enabled Wi-Fi Access Points). We use best-in-class hardware with a minimum 4-year battery life. Here’s an example of a beacon we use, with a small size (50x20mm) and a magnetic cap for easy installation.
- Always Accurate: Enjoy consistent real-time indoor location accuracy within 1-3 meters (3-9 feet). Our patented compass-free technology ensures accurate orientation and smooth wayfinding throughout the building. (Check the video)
- Works Everywhere: Eliminate time-consuming “fingerprinting” procedures. Our self-learning technology adapts to your unique space, allowing scalable deployment across various locations.
- Accurate Floor Detection: Precisely detects floor levels (Z-axis location), enabling seamless transitions between floors in multi-story buildings.
- Smooth Indoor/Outdoor Transitions: Automatically switch between GPS and Bluetooth signals for uninterrupted wayfinding across your entire campus.
- Offline Functionalities: Maintain reliable indoor location even in areas with limited or no internet connectivity, like parking garages or basements.
- Minimal Maintenance: real-time beacon monitoring without on-site visits through crowdsourcing
- Hands-Free Wayfinding: Track users’ locations even when the app is not actively in use (with permission), enabling smooth wayfinding without constant phone checking.
