With more than 10 billion devices connected globally to Wi-Fi, it is now possible to map the real-world movement patterns of these devices in the virtual world. By combining these data points, we can create a blueprint of the daily operations in the physical world.
The activity traces of each Wi-Fi device can be used to track individuals and their behavior. For example, a device’s activity may indicate a loyal customer who visits a coffee shop every morning at 7 AM or a shopper who frequently visits the sports section of a department store every quarter. Similarly, the activity of a device can help track the movement of visitors in a factory complex or a patient in a hospital.
From a spatial perspective, Wi-Fi device records can be used to identify specific areas, locations, and spaces. This information helps to identify peak periods of human traffic, the direction of movement, areas with significant gatherings, and whether any areas exceed set occupancy limits.
Through these Wi-Fi device traces, we gain not only an understanding of daily routines but also the ability to detect anomalies and evaluate the efficiency and inefficiency of spatial usage. We can use this data to propose data-driven solutions to address issues and enhance efficiency.
This is what Edgecore Wi-Fi’s Smart Indoor Location is all about—a simple yet powerful approach to managing complex challenges. Leveraging real-time Wi-Fi positioning in physical environments, we use the location in the physical environment as an identifier for unknown entities on the network. This innovation opens the door for Wi-Fi network providers to develop exciting new applications and services.
While indoor location-based services are not a new concept, many existing solutions require additional tags and specialized readers to record so-called “trajectory data.” However, Edgecore Wi-Fi’s Smart Indoor Location eliminates the need for expensive tags and extra sensors. It relies solely on Wi-Fi access points and Wi-Fi-enabled devices like smartphones, making it instantly accessible.
Edgecore Wi-Fi believes that Wi-Fi networks have the potential to go beyond providing internet connectivity and offer innovative applications, enhance space utilization efficiency, and improve user experiences.
Whether you’re an office/factory manager, property owner, or venue administrator, Edgecore Wi-Fi’s Smart Indoor Location promises disruptive convenience and innovative value for your Wi-Fi network.
