Indoor LBS Market
in the US 2014-2018 is the latest addition
to Sandlerresearch.org industry research reports collection.
Indoor LBS is
used to track the location of an object or people within a building or a
specific location such as a university campus. The indoor LBS is confined to a
very limited geography; hence, it uses only wireless networks such as WiFi and
WLAN that covers a small area. In addition, indoor LBS requires a high accuracy
on the position of the object or device. Due to this, the indoor LBS uses
positioning technologies based on WiFi, WLAN, UWB, Bluetooth, A-GPS, MEMS, and
other hybrid technologies. Indoor LBS is mainly used in universities, hospitals,
stadiums, shopping malls, government offices, airports, museums, convention
centers, hotels, resorts, and parking areas.
The
differentiating factor between the outdoor LBS and the indoor LBS is the use of
GPS signals to locate the desired object or people. The GPS signals inside a
building are low. In addition, the accuracy of localization in GPS positioning
technology varies from 50-100 meters. As most of the users spend more than 80
percent of their time indoors; the requirement for tracking or discovering an
object or people with high localization accuracy is required. Hence, the indoor
LBS use LAN-based spatial technology for positioning of objects or people. Analysts
forecast the LBS market in the
US
will grow at a CAGR of 44.87 percent over the period 2013-2018.
