A look at Location-Based Services (LBS)
Location-based services have changed how we manage our daily lives. They’ve revolutionized how we travel, track packages, and keep an eye on friends and family.
In the corporate environment, knowledge gained from gathering and analyzing real-time location information on products, employees, customers, and IoT devices is becoming vital business intelligence.
Traditional Technology limitation for Location-Based Services (LBS)
Satellite-powered global positioning system (GPS) is the most common traditional technologies used for location tracking. Others such as private satellite, mobile signal etc are also technologies used to achieve location identification System. These technologies however are mostly suited and designed to work outdoors.
Indoor technologies for location-based services, such as Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), WIFI Signal-Based Localization and RF Fingerprinting are commonly deployed.
However, above mentioned technologies used for location tracking are commonly plagued with limitations:
1.) Lack of pinpoint accuracy – Even with the latest technology, location precision is theoretically in the range of meters. Realistically, it is more like tens of meters
2.) Disturbance – Prone to Weather , Environment and Electromagnetic interference. Weather condition and surrounding features such as building, bridge, vegetation and even plants can adversely affect service availability and accuracy as many of these technologies required direct line of sight and multiple points of observation
3.) Costly – Infrastructure and slow in implementation with weak signal especially in underground environment
It is difficult to integrate the information from one solution to another as most solutions are proprietary and thus most of them will end up with partial implementation for Location Base Services (LBS).
A complete solution for high precision location services is required to bring the best values out to the business
Solutions
Nu-WIFI is developed and quickly adopted as a de facto for high precision location service in many critical and hazardous facilities such as nuclear power plants, military installations, government facilities (such as prisons), underground tunnels (in construction and maintenance) and more.
Nu-WIFI’s unique technology and complete ranges of products provide High Precision Location Services in ONE Solution, regardless of complexity in site requirements.
It offers and brings out the best of efficiency and productivity derived from high precision location services to business and offers limitless idea in IoT innovation to address real business issues..
Nu-WIFI Technology
Nu-WIFI deploys location beacons in targeted spaces according to types of location services required. Nu-WIFI can provide 1-, 2- and 3-dimensional location information accurate to the tune of centimeters.
The antennas and beacons to be installed depending on the type of location information needed.
A typical system consists of a Base Station, a Location Administration Server, Beacon(s) and Identifier(s).
At the core of the system is Nu-WIFI Base Station, which broadcast standard WIFI signal at 1.266Gbps and its proprietary Nu-WIFI radio signal (Nu-WIFI IoT Signal) at 2Mbps.
Nu-WIFI IoT Signal is a low power (0.1~100mW) communication protocol capable of supporting up to 200 front-end connection with full-duplex voice capability. The wake-up delay is as short as in microseconds while the data transmission is in milliseconds.
The connection between Base Station and remote beacon/antenna is a simple coax cable.
For larger geographical areas, multiple Base Stations are connected to achieve complete coverage.
