MIMOS Indoor Location Platform

(Mi-ILP)

Wireless Innovation Lab, MIMOS

Motivations

• People tend to spend more time indoor (80% of

time)

• Building getting higher, shopping malls getting

bigger

• No GPS indoor

• “The Indoor location market size is estimated to

grow from USD 4.72 billion in 2016 to USD

23.13 billion by 2021, at a Compound Annual

Growth Rate (CAGR) of 37.4% from 2016 to

2021” – Markets and Markets, Oct 2016

“Location” Missing Context Indoor

• To date, the context of “location” remains

missing in the indoor environment

• With Indoor Positioning technology, a plethora of

diverse applications and the ability of providing

rich contextual information about people and

objects especially when combined with “big

data” kinds of analytics can be provided

Technical Advantages

• Positioning – where GPS signal is not

available

• Minimum Deployment Cost – leverage

on existing standard WiFi infrastructure,

zero infra cost software-only approach

• Mass Market - smart phone/tablet based

solution, ready devices

• Security and Scalability - cloud-based

services

5

Target Markets

Underground parking

Large enterprises, government

buildings

Theme parks

Museums

Wireless Fingerprinting Technology

• Complex mathematical process to

1. generate “good quality” fingerprints which is robust,

accurate and easy to maintain

2. estimate spatial location point based on “noisy”

wireless signal signature of that particular location

• State-of-the-art research works indicate that this is one

of the most promising approaches for indoor

positioning in the future.

ILP-Enabled WiFi Tag for Asset/Equipment tracking

• Attached to asset or carried by personnel (can be customized as a tag)

• IEEE802.11b/g/n SOC

• Battery operated, low-power

• Communicate with server via WiFi, LORA or 3G (needs SIM card & dataplan)

• Tracked via Mi-MIST dashboard

• Optional:– Built-in Accelerometers,

Gyroscope, compass (motion detection)

– Temperature, humidity, light sensors for environment monitoring

*Joint development with IoTLabs in progress
