Product Information

Description

BeaconDB serves as an open-source database system for wireless positioning data, enabling the collection, storage, and analysis of radio signal information from Wi-Fi access points and Bluetooth beacons. Its core functionality involves aggregating signal strength measurements and location data to create crowd-sourced positioning maps, which can be used for indoor navigation, location-based services, and research applications. Key features include support for multiple wireless technologies, a structured database schema for efficient querying, and integration capabilities with positioning algorithms and mapping tools. The system is particularly valuable for developers and researchers working on location-aware applications, offering a libre alternative to proprietary positioning databases while maintaining data accuracy and accessibility through community contributions.
