Tuesday, 19 March 2013 – Industry-Leading Innovation Announcement
Penguin’s elite R&D research team, which has been pioneering the commercialization of cutting-edge indoor positioning systems and real-time location tracking technologies, announced groundbreaking progress toward the introduction of a revolutionary multi-technology indoor tracking solutions opportunistic indoor navigation engine.
BLE Indoor Navigation: The Foundation Technology
Since initial conception, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology has been strategically contemplated as a core enabling technology for advanced indoor positioning solutions. However, the innovative R&D team at Penguin recognized that many commercial venues and enterprise facilities may have diverse types of IT infrastructure at varying deployment densities. Such existing venue technology infrastructure is typically already deployed to provide seamless network connectivity and may be owned or operated by multiple stakeholders.
Multi-Technology Positioning Platform: Game-Changing Innovation
To strategically leverage the extensive range of technologies and vendors supplying such IT infrastructure, Penguin successfully engineered a state-of-the-art multi-technology, vendor-agnostic, opportunistic positioning platform that relies on advanced machine-learning algorithms to deliver a highly cost-effective indoor location solution leveraging any and all available IT infrastructure at a venue, including:
- 📶 Wi-Fi positioning networks
- 📡 BLE beacon systems
- 🧠Magnetic field mapping technology
- 💡 Smart LED lighting systems
- 📱 Small cell networks
- 🔄 Additional indoor location technologies
Initial performance results are exceptionally encouraging and provide for ultra-reliable and highly accurate indoor positioning systems.
Managed Indoor Navigation Solution: Enterprise-Ready
The comprehensive indoor navigation platform is offered as a fully-managed positioning solution to ensure that frequent infrastructure changes and dynamic venue environment modifications do not impact the optimal performance of the solution over intended coverage areas and extended time periods. This represents a crucial competitive differentiator which is expected to be enthusiastically welcomed by resource-constrained IT departments who are not positioned to independently manage such sophisticated indoor tracking solutions.
