Indoor & Outdoor Positioning System: what it is and how it works
An indoor positioning system is a technological solution that enables real-time location tracking of people, vehicles, and assets within indoor environments. By integrating GNSS, BLE, and beacon technologies, an indoor & outdoor positioning system ensures continuous tracking even in outdoor spaces, without interruptions when transitioning between indoor and outdoor environments.
Track assets, equipment, and personnel in real time with a system designed for complex industrial environments. The Hyperspace solution enables both indoor positioning and continuous outdoor tracking, improving efficiency, safety, and decision-making across all operational scenarios.
How does continuous indoor positioning tracking work?
Technology that goes beyond walls
In industrial environments where automation and process control are critical, knowing the real-time location of vehicles, machines, and resources is a strategic advantage. An indoor positioning and outdoor tracking system goes beyond simple localization—it enables distributed operational control, ensuring both efficiency and safety.
The real challenge is eliminating discontinuities between indoor and outdoor environments. It’s not enough to track assets in a yard or monitor them inside a warehouse: what’s needed is a system capable of maintaining signal continuity and accuracy even when moving between different spaces. The system developed by Hyperspace integrates BLE, beacons, and GNSS to ensure consistent and reliable positioning.
Indoor & Outdoor Positioning System
Key specifications:
- Industrial Bluetooth → detects beacons up to 190 m (open field)
- Wi-Fi and LTE Cat 1 → for stable remote connectivity
- Multi-band GNSS
- Integrated accelerometer → shock detection and motion tracking
- 4 GB memory → local buffering in case of network loss
- IP65 enclosure, watchdog, and solar mode
All integrated into a board without an operating system, reducing latency and vulnerability while ensuring instant startup and maximum security.
Two operating modes for dynamic environments
Smart Infrastructure Mode
- Fixed boards installed in strategic locations
- Mobile beacons applied to assets, vehicles, or personnel
- Automatic detection of movements and traversed areas
- Ideal for logistics, construction sites, hospitals, warehouses, and airports
Intelligent Vehicle Mode
- Board installed on the vehicle
- Fixed beacons placed in strategic points
- Automatic switching between GNSS and BLE positioning
- Continuous tracking in motion, with no interruption between indoor and outdoor environments
Real-time visualization and control
The solution includes a fully customized web portal (or app), featuring:
- multi-role access (company, dealers, maintenance teams)
- live geolocation and movement history
- Gantt views for usage cycles
-
advanced notifications for events, virtual zones, and anomalies
Built to last, designed to scale
- IP65 enclosure for industrial environments
- powered via direct supply or solar panel
- global connectivity with remotely managed M2M SIMs
- standard industrial interfaces: MODBUS, MQTT, REST APIs
