?Indoor Location Positioning: Research Pipelines, Start-Ups and Predictions for 2012?

In December, 2011, Google announced that Google Maps would now be able to work indoors. This was followed quickly by announcements from other major companies in the industry that their systems would also soon be able to map and navigate indoors.

The major players in mobile - Google, Microsoft, Samsung, Apple, RIM, Nokia, Sony Ericsson & others - are actively developing new location technologies that will work indoors. These technologies will revolutionize smartphone usage by enabling mapping, navigation, local search, check-ins, location-sharing and other location-based services to work indoors in malls, megastores, offices, airports and other big indoor places. Indoor location will also transform commerce, enabling searching for items on store shelves, sending deals & promotions to nearby customers, advertisements for nearby stores, and more.

This 104 page report gives details of over sixty indoor-location research projects at major mobile companies, and over a dozen start-up companies in the area. It is a must-read for corporate planning groups to know what their competition is doing, researchers to know the approaches that others are working on, business development groups to know which start-up companies will fit their needs, start-up companies to know which major companies to pitch to, investors to know which companies will lead this new area, venture capitalists to know which start-ups fill niches in this area, cellular operators to know where their next-generation of new capabilities will come from, and anyone else who needs to track this exciting new technology.
