## Overview

Throughout indoor environments, positioning accuracy and precision are critical to ensure assets don’t go missing, high-value items can be delivered properly, and operational efficiencies are optimized. In places like stores, warehouses, and manufacturing plants, it can be challenging to get to the precise location without GPS coverage. Hence, having real-time positioning capabilities with navigation is critical using alternative methods.

## Benefits

- **Precise indoor-optimized tracking:** No GPS required, ideal for retail stores, malls, hospitals, warehouses, and multi-level spaces
- **Improved retail efficiency:** Utilize existing network infrastructure like Wi-Fi and private 5G, along with Electronic Shelf Labels (ESLs) for aisle-level navigation, increasing re-stocking efficiency and accuracy
- **Energy-focused design:** Power-optimized algorithms support continuous or intermittent tracking, without draining batteries
- **Flexible integration:** Deploys easily on Qualcomm or third-party processors and devices via SDKs, APIs, Qualcomm modules, and pre-built devices like the [Qualcomm Aware Tracker](https://www.qualcomm.com/products/internet-of-things/aware/qts110-tracker) and [Qualcomm Aware Thin Tracker](https://www.qualcomm.com/products/internet-of-things/aware/qts112-tracker)
- **Offline location capability:** Determines device location without a live connection using caching and tokening techniques
- **Floor-level accuracy:** Position devices indoors, down to the exact floor. Critical for life-saving environments like hospitals and helping network operators meet E911 and E112 emergency positioning requirements for devices
