Available for an ArcGIS organization licensed with the ArcGIS IPS extension.
ArcGIS IPS is an indoor positioning system that provides geolocation for a wide variety of indoor location use cases. With ArcGIS IPS, your indoor location is displayed with a blue dot location indicator on an IPS-aware map.
Through location awareness, ArcGIS IPS allows mobile app users to identify their location indoors, while location sharing provides insights into the physical positions of people, enhancing safety and operational efficiency, and helping you make better-informed decisions. You can use ArcGIS IPS within the ArcGIS ecosystem to navigate to people, places, and assets inside a facility in real time.
ArcGIS IPS is commonly enabled with radio signals from BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) beacons or Wi-Fi networks available in an indoor environment. Bluetooth beacons emit signals using the iBeacon protocol, while Wi-Fi indoor signals are emitted by Wi-Fi access points. Signals in the environment are received and interpreted by the positioning algorithms to visualize a blue dot on the users’ mobile devices running an app supporting indoor positioning, such as ArcGIS Field Maps, ArcGIS Indoors mobile or custom Maps SDKs-powered apps.
You can use the indoor positioning tools in ArcGIS Pro and the ArcGIS IPS Setup app to prepare, configure, enable, and maintain an ArcGIS IPS deployment in an organization.
