TRBOnet Indoor Positioning

Indoor Positioning is a powerful tool used for locating and tracking your radio units when GPS is not available, or when GPS information may not be accurate, for example, because of surroundings (tall buildings, trees and so on).

At the moment, both TRBOnet Enterprise and TRBOnet Plus support two different technologies, each of them has its advantages. 

One of them is based on K-TERM beacons, a very robust and reliable solution for mission critical markets. 

On the other hand, the iBeacon technology for MOTOTRBO radios is more affordable and can be used by a wide range of customers such as shopping malls, office buildings or airports.
