Today we’re adding another whitepaper to the collection; Choosing the Right Beacon. This paper elaborates on the role beacons play in Indoor Positioning Systems, and what to look for in a beacon if you intend to use it for indoor positioning.

Providing Location-Based Services (LBS) requires a position – a blue dot. Indoor Positioning Systems (IPS) provide that blue dot based on a number of technologies, including beacons. This paper outlines how IPS works at a high level and explains the importance of beacons in delivering highly accurate indoor positioning in real time.
