Application of indoor navigation and positioning system in the IoT ecosystem [Copy link]

In recent years, with the rapid development of the Internet of Things , the development of data interaction between objects on the Internet is quite rapid, so the demand for positioning products is increasing . After all, only after the location information of the object is confirmed can the subsequent application development be realized .

At present, the application of IoT positioning is nothing more than the deployment of front-end signal sources such as Bluetooth, WiFi, and UWB hardware , and the configuration of server engines and maps at the back end . However, for some densely populated places in cities such as communities, schools, shopping malls, supermarkets, etc., the system configuration requires a high network environment and the overall system hardware cost is also relatively high. Therefore, according to the general application characteristics of communities, schools, shopping malls, supermarkets, banks and other places, the front-end Bluetooth transmission signal is selected , which reflects the lightness of the front end. In the middle, mobile phones or work badges are used to collect and forward signals.

The backend collects signals through the gateway base station and transmits them to the positioning engine server and realizes the scene positioning function on the electronic map . However, for small and medium-sized places such as communities, schools, shopping malls, and supermarkets that have high scene function requirements and strict cost control , the high-cost, high-network environment UWB positioning server system configuration and positioning accuracy are poor, and WIFI servers that are easily interfered by the environment are not suitable. Therefore, it is more appropriate to choose a set of Bluetooth devices with a lora system . Medisoko focuses on launching indoor communication platform software , which is more lightweight and intelligent in terms of functions and deployment with the front-end lora system , and is more in line with the actual needs of these application scenarios, making positioning services more convenient.

In the future, indoor positioning devices can be installed in all major indoor scenes, and even multiple indoor scenes can be integrated on multiple platforms, truly achieving an ecological model that connects everything.
