Last week Grizzly Analytics had the pleasure of organizing the GeoIoT World Indoor Location Testbed. The conference was amazing and it was great working with the testbed participants. All the solutions at the testbed did better than the commonly accepted industry standards. The GeoIoT World Indoor Location Testbed was the first event to evaluate and compare indoor location solutions in a real-world manner, measuring a wide variety of metrics. While others focus exclusively on accuracy, our testbed measured latency, time-to-stability, consistency, set-up time, numbers of beacons used (when relevant), and more. We are also segmenting our analysis along a number of dimensions, including the use of dedicated hardware, sensor fusion, Bluetooth vs. Wi-Fi, and more. The Testbed included ten solutions from eight companies, including two that tracked dedicated hardware, two that used Wi-fi signals of opportunity, and six that use BLE. Some integrate sensor fusion and some do not. The number
