Motivations
• People tend to spend more time indoor (80% of
time)
• Building getting higher, shopping malls getting
bigger
• No GPS indoor
• “The Indoor location market size is estimated to
grow from USD 4.72 billion in 2016 to USD
23.13 billion by 2021, at a Compound Annual
Growth Rate (CAGR) of 37.4% from 2016 to
2021” – Markets and Markets, Oct 2016

“Location” Missing Context Indoor
• To date, the context of “location” remains
missing in the indoor environment
• With Indoor Positioning technology, a plethora of
diverse applications and the ability of providing
rich contextual information about people and
objects especially when combined with “big
data” kinds of analytics can be provided

Technical Advantages
• Positioning – where GPS signal is not
available
• Minimum Deployment Cost – leverage
on existing standard WiFi infrastructure,
zero infra cost software-only approach
• Mass Market - smart phone/tablet based
solution, ready devices
• Security and Scalability - cloud-based
services
5
Wireless Fingerprinting Technology
• Complex mathematical process to
1. generate “good quality” fingerprints which is robust,
accurate and easy to maintain
2. estimate spatial location point based on “noisy”
wireless signal signature of that particular location
• State-of-the-art research works indicate that this is one
of the most promising approaches for indoor
positioning in the future.

ILP-Enabled WiFi Tag for Asset/Equipment tracking
• Attached to asset or carried by personnel (can be customized as a tag)
• IEEE802.11b/g/n SOC
• Battery operated, low-power
• Communicate with server via WiFi, LORA or 3G (needs SIM card & dataplan)
• Tracked via Mi-MIST dashboard
• Optional:– Built-in Accelerometers,
Gyroscope, compass (motion detection)
– Temperature, humidity, light sensors for environment monitoring
*Joint development with IoTLabs in progress
