Indoor positioning system × IoT
GPS doesn’t work indoors, so finding people and equipment usually means going to look. We work out positions from the WiFi and Bluetooth signals on site, show them live in Orion SPACE, and alert the moment someone enters a restricted zone or a reading goes out of range.
Positioning relies on reference points at known locations.
Outdoors, those are satellites.
Satellite signals don’t reach indoors,
so we use the site’s WiFi and Bluetooth signals instead.
From signal strength,
we work out where people and equipment are.
Positions, zones and alerts
update on the same map.
What we do is straightforward: locate the people and equipment on a site, connect alerts and sensor data, and put it all on one map, so staff on the floor and managers look at the same information.
Positioning technology
BLE can mean beacons on site that devices scan, or gateways that listen to broadcasting tags. The hardware sits in different places and data flows in opposite directions, so we look at the site and what you need to manage before choosing.
Devices scan WiFi, BLE or 5G NR signals already on site, and a model trained on a site survey infers their position.
Best forLarge public spaces where adding hardware is hard
BLE beacons sit at known points. When a device hears one, its coordinates are used to correct the AETHER result; beacons can also be used alone for zone-level positions.
Best forAETHER sites where certain spots need a firmer fix
Gateways on site receive BLE broadcasts from tags, and position is computed from the signal strength at several receivers.
Best forTag tracking for people and assets in factories, hospitals and warehouses
Outdoors, devices report GNSS coordinates, shown on the same map as indoor positions.
Best forConstruction sites, campuses and outdoor work
One site can mix methods by device type.
For UWB or RFID, we assess it with our partnersThe Orion SPACE platform
Positions, alerts, sensors and camera feeds in one interface. Everything below is recorded on the live platform with demo data.
Switch floors and watch positions update. Click any marker for details, or search for it.
Outdoors on a satellite map, then zoom into the building’s floors, with outdoor and indoor devices on one map.
Draw zones on the floor plan and alert on entry, exit or dwell. SOS, low battery and offline devices raise alerts too.
Temperature, humidity, CO₂, PM2.5 and voltage charted live. Out-of-range readings alert, with hysteresis so values near the limit don’t retrigger.
Camera feeds alongside positions and sensor data on the same platform.
Replay movement for any time range and view how space is used with heatmaps.
Manage sites across cities and countries, with role-based permissions.

Solutions
Airports, hospitals, semiconductor fabs and environmental monitoring: all sites we have deployed, all on the same platform.
Deployed at Singapore’s international airport
On-premises deployment, data stays on site
Beyond the four above, we have deployed in these sites, each with different conditions.
Deployment & integration
Cloud or on-premises depending on your security requirements, with data delivered in a form your existing systems accept.
Hosted by us on an annual subscription, suited to fast rollouts and proofs of concept.
Runs on your own servers so data stays on site, with custom development and integration.
REST API for positions and events; WebSocket for real-time updates.
Alerts can be forwarded to access control, security or existing systems via webhook, configured by your administrator.
Owner, admin, member and viewer roles, enforced on the server.
Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and English, with a dark theme.
How we work
Confirm what to track, where, and which systems to connect.
Assess the radio environment and installation conditions on site, then choose the method.
Install hardware, survey and model, import floor plans and open the platform.
Keep tracking positioning quality and adjust when the site changes.
Tell us the type of site, its floor area and what you want to track. We start with a call, survey the site if needed, then send a proposal and quote.
