Grizzly Analytics is excited to announce that we will be conducting the indoor positioning testbed at the Geo IoT Conference, in May, 2016, in Brussels.
Participating vendors & researchers can demonstrate their technology solutions and have them measured along a wide variety of metrics, including accuracy, latency (update speed), resilience, infrastructure requirements, setup time, power requirements, etc. Analysis and comparisons will be segmented, including between mobile systems and hardware/chip solutions.

For years I've been writing sentences like "this will be the year that indoor location will explode into the market." I, and many others, have been expecting indoor location technology to enable the huge range of location-enabled apps, which currently work only outside where GPS signals are available, to work inside. But until now the promise of indoor location has remained a promise. But if we look at the reasons for this, we'll see that it is about to change. 2017 and 2018 are poised to be the years that the challenges keeping indoor location from going mainstream will be solved. First is accuracy. Most indoor location technologies until a year or so ago had accuracy in the range of 4 to 8 meters. This sounds good in principle, and in fact is better than GPS in many cases. But GPS systems are able to use road details to hide their inaccuracies, so that the blue dot seems to follow your driving car almost perfectly. But indoors, this sort of inaccuracy means y
