Key Advantages of Indoor Navigation Technology

While the strength of Wi-Fi varies depending on the weather or the technology in place, ultrasound does not falter in any situation. The service providers can also fluctuate the strength of the ultrasound signal based on one's budget and requirements.

FREMONT, CA: The indoor positioning system is a promising technology that helps people navigate inside the buildings. It is also crucial to identify the location where firefighting equipment such as water hydrants and extinguishers are placed. This technology plays a significant role in helping firefighters move within a building in the quest to save lives and property. In the hospitals, the patients can utilize it to find their way through the various departments.

Let us look at some key advantages of indoor navigation technology:

Indoor Navigation

This technology is useful in places where the GIS cannot reach. The GIS system rules the outdoor world, and GPS helps people navigate the indoor scene. Since the indoor walls can hinder the mapping of a building, the GPS for indoors program help people navigate from one room to another inside of unknown buildings. Uploading images of buildings' digital blueprints and schematics can help in the mapping process. Like GIS, GPS depends on the same satellite infrastructure that helps with GIS mapping. The GPS indoor positioning system also utilizes ultrasound and infrared waves. The transfer of these waves from one room to another allows the system to visualize the configuration and layout of a room as well as the location of the major precincts.

Advantages of Digital Maps

While the strength of Wi-Fi varies depending on the weather or the technology in place, ultrasound does not falter in any situation. The service providers can also fluctuate the ultrasound signal's strength based on one's budget and requirements. A large mall with plenty of shelves, rooms, and floors would need a significant signal strength as opposed to a small retail shop. The indoor maps can be very useful for firefighters to identify the position of valuable equipment during a natural disaster.
