The document describes MIMOS Indoor Location Platform (Mi-ILP), which aims to provide indoor positioning capabilities using existing WiFi infrastructure with a software-only approach. It notes that people spend 80% of their time indoors and that indoor location services represent a large market opportunity. Mi-ILP uses wireless fingerprinting technology to estimate location based on WiFi signal signatures and provides APIs for applications to leverage indoor positioning. It has been piloted successfully in malls and allows for real-time tracking and mobility analysis using historical user data.

- 1. MIMOS Indoor Location Platform (Mi-ILP) Wireless Innovation Lab, MIMOS
- 2. 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 2
- 3. “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 3
- 5. 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
- 6. Target Markets Underground parking Large enterprises, government buildings Theme parks Museums 6
- 7. 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. 7

- 10. Real-time Tracking Real-time person location monitoring 10
- 11. Mobility Analysis • Collect users’ historical data for analysis: Individual or crowd behavior Location heatmap analysis (time/day/month) Safety & security monitoring Mobility analysis 11
- 12. 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 12
