Position Detection LPS System
Combining Locix Technology and Wi-Fi Module
Overview
High-quality, compact Murata Wi-Fi module
×
High-accuracy, low-power-consumption Locix LPS
The Position Detection LPS System is a module capable of locating Wi-Fi-equipped devices with accuracy within 1 meter in both indoor and outdoor environments.
Compared with positioning systems utilizing existing Wi-Fi technology, it makes it possible to locate, track, and analyze the positions of persons and objects with extremely high accuracy even in busy indoor environments at low cost.
This system enables enterprises to increase visibility substantially and thereby boost productivity and efficiency.
Features
Proprietary Localization Algorithms from Locix
and Wi-Fi technology from Murata
- Accurate performance in dynamically changing environments
