HERE Indoor Radio Mapper

HERE Indoor Radio Mapper is a tool to enable any venue with HERE Indoor Positioning. HERE Indoor Positioning is like GPS but for inside a building, providing accurate location within a few meters. HERE Indoor Radio Mapper creates radio maps, which are collections of geo-referenced radio data (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth™), inside buildings. Wi-Fi access point and Bluetooth beacon signal strengths are leveraged to create this abstract map. The created radio map is consumed by HERE Mobile SDK , which provides applications accurate indoor location and floor information. To find out more about HERE Indoor Positioning, please visit indoor.here.com. To deploy HERE Indoor Positioning to a venue, there are four basic and one optional step. 1. The venue needs to have either Wi-Fi or Bluetooth beacon (EddystoneTM or iBeacon compliant) infrastructure in place according to the HERE guidelines. Please visit indoor.here.com. for further details on the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth beacon requirements. 2. An indoor map of the building is required.
