2. Introduction:
• An indoor positioning system (IPS) is a solution to
locate objects or people inside a building using
sensory information collected by mobile devices.
• Instead of using satellites, IPS solutions rely on
different technologies, including distance
measurement to nearby anchor nodes.
e.g., WiFi access points, magnetic positioning.

4. Beacons
• Indoor spaces often block cell signals and also make
it nearly impossible to locate devices via GPS.
Beacons are a solution.
• Beacons are a piece of hardware - small enough to
attach to a wall or countertop- that utilize battery-
friendly Bluetooth connections to transmit messages
or prompts directly to a smart phone or tablet.
