Wifarer • Accurate indoor positioning system supports navigation, reconnaissance, and search and rescue. • Successfully operates in environments where TOA solutions suffer from multipath or line-of-sight issues
Cost effective IPS • Uses off-the-shelf WIFI • Hardware • Often already installed in venue
Server software • Allows users to know where they are and for others to find them • Centrally managed and web based administration software can allow operator to see users.
Graphical Reporting Interface Venue Analytics • Provides real-time • feedback on pedestrian • traffic flows • Informs security protocols
Wifarer WIFI Locator ideally suited for IPS • Could become indispensible tool for reconnaissance and search and rescue. Conclusion
