Indoor Triangulation System
Tracking wireless devices accurately

Whitepaper

Navizon, the company that pioneered geopositioning for smart phone users with its Navizon One system, has come up with another first: Navizon Indoor Triangulation System (Navizon I.T.S.). Navizon One was one of the first systems that provided accurate geopositioning for smart phone users around the world.Navizon I.T.S. solves a different problem: it provides very accurate location of Wi-Fi enabled devices including smart phones, tablets and laptops, anywhere inside a building or campus. Combining both services opens up exciting possibilities for positioning, tracking people and devices, as well as marketing and security surveillance.

Navizon One
Cell phone positioning based on AGPS, WiFi accesspoints, and cell towers Coverage: global Accuracy: street level Main applications: Personal navigation and location-aware apps for smartphone

Navizon I.T.S.
Indoor tracking system based on Navizon’s proprietary Coverage: single site spanning one or more buildings Accuracy: room level Main applications: Tracking and surveillance

Accurate Positioning Anywhere
Navizon One and Navizon ITS aredesigned to work together. When devices running the Navizon app enter a Navizon I.T.S. site, a higher level of accuracy is made available, enabling applications such as indoor navigation, finding friends and family, and location-bases services.

Would you like to know exactly where you are in a big box store and where to find what you are looking for? Do you need to locate, rapidly andunobtrusively where all the Wi-Fi devices are within a large campus? Would you like to know how many smart phone-carrying attendees show up at your trade show, how long they stay, where they congregate and the overall traffic flow? Are you responsible for monitoring that only approved Wi-Fi devices operate in a secure area of your building? Do you need to pinpoint the location of a specific person or Wi-Fidevice? These are some of the applications enabled by Navizon, providing accurate positioning anywhere.

Navizon One

Where in the World am I?

We all know that our smart phones can determine our locations anywhere on Earth’s surface--i.e. geopositioning. How does this work? It is done using Assisted GPS (AGPS)and the physical location of neighboring Wi-Fi hot spots and cell phone towers. Why use three location references? Assisted GPS provides fast and accurate geopositioning, but works best outdoors. GPS receivers are often at a loss wherever the GPS satellite signals are blocked by or bounce off tall buildings, as in metropolitan areas congested with skyscrapers. But location can also be determinedusing the known location of neighboring Wi-Fi hot spots or cell phone towers. In fact, Navizon pioneered the use of these three components to provide accurate positioning anywhere in the world. Navizon has built a comprehensive database through the contributions of over a million global users. And growing. This service is provided though a mobile application called the Navizon app.

Navizon I.T.S.
How can I track smart devices indoors?
Navizon I.T.S. works in the background, quietly and unobtrusively locating Wi-Fi enabled devices. These devices (stations) are tracked within the coverage area (site) which is determined by a network of nodes. No application is needed on the devices to be tracked. The onlyrequirement is that their Wi-Fi radios be turned on, which is the default in most smart phones, tablets and laptops. Navizon I.T.S. nodes are small and inconspicuous, and placed approximately within 100 feet of each other to cover a three-dimensional space, the site, which may span a multi-story building or multiple buildings in a campus. Nodes are simply plugged into standard electrical outlets for...
