For decades, locating objects outdoors has no longer been a technical challenge thanks to compact GPS navigation devices. Unlike outdoors, locating objects indoors is a much more demanding task, especially since the signals from the GPS satellite cannot get into a building. Even under optimal conditions, it is not possible to locate objects with GPS with centimeter accuracy. For example, if people are to be located in a supermarket, this would not be possible with GPS.

IntraNav GmbH has been developing an indoor localization system since 2013, which combines two aerospace technologies. Thanks to the fusion of integrated sensors and radio-based measurement, IntraNav (Intralogistics Navigation) is the world's most cost-effective, precise and industrially suitable positioning system for indoor and outdoor use.
