Embodiments provide an "always-on," accurate, low power, and low cost solution for indoor positioning. The indoor positioning solution is enabled by one or more low power, low cost location beacons, which can be easily configured and installed in any indoor environment to support position determination. In an embodiment, the location beacons use a low power, low data rate wireless radio technology (e.g., Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)), well suited for typical indoor ranges and data rates needed to support positioning. The location beacons may be rechargeable via ambient light and require no external power source. In addition, the location beacons benefit from a very cost efficient design, which allows for ubiquitous utilization of the enabled indoor positioning solution in a variety of indoor locations, public or private, small or large. |
