When it comes to indoor and outdoor positioning solutions, there are many different technologies available, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Here's a look at some of the most commonly used solutions and their key features.

Wi-Fi Positioning Solution
The Wi-Fi positioning solution provides low accuracy, with an accuracy of 5-10 meters. Deployment requires an access point (AP) interval of 20 meters, and the delay is high, at 8-10 seconds. Wiring requirements are high, but maintenance is low. The terminal standby duration is short, and the solution is best suited for WiFi-based scenarios where the access point supports positioning.

Bluetooth 5.0 Positioning Base Station Solution
The Bluetooth 5.0 positioning base station solution provides medium accuracy, with an accuracy of 1-3 meters. Deployment requires a gateway interval of 8-10 meters, and the delay is low, at 2-3 seconds. Wiring requirements are high, but maintenance is low, and the terminal standby duration is long. This solution is best suited for indoor environments with reasonable floor heights and convenient wiring.

Bluetooth Beacon + Applet/Application Solution
The Bluetooth beacon + applet/application solution provides medium accuracy, with an accuracy of 1-3 meters. Deployment requires an iBeacon interval of 6-8 meters, and the delay is low, at 2-3 seconds. There is no wiring required, but maintenance is high due to the need for high deployment density, battery changes, and the ease of loss. The terminal standby duration depends on the mobile/pad terminal being used, and the solution is best suited for mobile navigation apps.

Bluetooth Beacon + Positioning Terminal + Bluetooth 5.0 Gateway Solution
The Bluetooth beacon + positioning terminal + Bluetooth 5.0 gateway solution provides medium accuracy, with an accuracy of 1-3 meters. Deployment requires an iBeacon interval of 6-8 meters, and the delay is low, at 2-3 seconds. Wiring requirements are medium, and maintenance is high due to the need for high deployment density, battery changes, and the ease of loss. The terminal standby duration is medium, and the solution is best suited for complex indoor/outdoor environments.

Bluetooth Beacon + Positioning Terminal + LoRa Gateway Solution
The Bluetooth beacon + positioning terminal + LoRa gateway solution provides medium accuracy, with an accuracy of 1-3 meters. Deployment requires an iBeacon interval of 6-8 meters, and the delay is medium-low, at 3-5 seconds. Wiring requirements are low, but maintenance is high due to the need for high deployment density, battery changes, and the ease of loss. The terminal standby duration is medium, and the solution is best suited for complex indoor/outdoor environments.

Bluetooth Beacon + Positioning Terminal + NB-IoT Solution
The Bluetooth beacon + positioning terminal + NB-IoT solution provides medium accuracy, with an accuracy of 1-3 meters. Deployment requires an iBeacon interval of 6-8 meters, and the delay is medium-low, at 3-5 seconds. There is no wiring required, but maintenance is high due to the need for high deployment density, battery changes, and continuous data charging. The terminal standby duration is medium, and the solution is best suited for complex indoor/outdoor environments.

Bluetooth + AoA Solution
The Bluetooth + AoA solution provides high accuracy, with an accuracy level of less than 1 meter. Deployment covers a radius of 30 meters (with no blockage), with a maximum coverage of R=100 meters. The delay is not perceived, with a 1-second delay. Wiring requirements are high, but maintenance is low, and the terminal standby duration is medium.
