Do you trust digital navigation systems that track your movement inside public buildings?
The Indoors Navigation platform enables organizations to map enclosed spaces and track movement using existing wireless infrastructure. The system, which recently received certification under the Made in Russia programme, offers an alternative to GPS in environments where signal penetration is restricted.
Why it matters
Operators face significant accuracy challenges when managing large indoor facilities because traditional GPS signals often fail to penetrate concrete floors and walls. By leveraging existing Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and UWB hardware, companies can bridge the gap between static digital building models and real-time asset tracking.
The system achieves 30-centimetre positioning accuracy using Wi-Fi RTT, and integration via SDK and API requires a turnaround of two weeks. This follows the July 2026 launch of the Dubai Digital Twin platform, which maps more than 195,000 individual buildings.
The players
Indoors Navigation
A developer of geolocation and building management software that integrates digital twins with wireless positioning standards.
The details
The platform converts floor plans into custom digital maps that support routing and real-time movement tracking. It functions by utilizing existing infrastructure—such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth access points—to provide positioning data without the need for installing new sensors. Businesses integrate the system through an API and SDK, allowing for either on-premises server management or cloud-based deployment.
Timeline
• July 2026: The Dubai Digital Twin platform was officially launched.
Market Landscape
The company’s recent certification under the Made in Russia programme formalizes its standing within a competitive sector focused on high-precision indoor geolocation. This development mirrors a broader industry shift where municipalities like Dubai are aggressively building digital twin catalogs to optimize facility management.
Facility operators should evaluate whether their existing wireless infrastructure can support granular asset tracking without requiring expensive hardware retrofits. Assess your current building floor plans for integration readiness if you plan to deploy digital twin modeling for high-traffic sites.
The takeaway
Indoor geolocation platforms offer a viable method for tracking assets in environments where GPS is ineffective, using infrastructure already present in most commercial buildings. Keep a close watch on future deployments in Jakarta and Ecuador to gauge the scalability of these integrations across diverse property types.
