INDOOR LOCATION TECHNOLOGY
Why indoor location technology?
GPS can deliver very precise locations when used outdoors
and away from large buildings.
However, when working indoors GPS signals can be degraded,
resulting in a reported location that is imprecise for an
efficient emergency response.
For many cases that involve commercial or industrial buildings,
GPS signals are blocked by the building completely and no GPS-
computed location is available at all.
Blackline Safety’s indoor location technology solves this
problem, making it possible to accurately locate an employee
working indoors and around large buildings. Combined with
custom floor plans, Blackline’s Location Beacon precisely displays
an employee’s location on a Google™ map. The end result is the
fastest possible emergency response to your employee’s exact
location.
What are Location Beacons?
Location Beacons are compact, wireless positioning transmitters.
Installed throughout facilities, Location Beacon should be placed
wherever GPS signals are unreliable or unavailable.
Each beacon broadcasts a unique identity number that is
received by your Blackline device, whether that be G7c/G7x,
Loner M6/M6i, Loner 900, Loner SMD or Loner IS+.
Safety monitoring devices report the identity of each beacon
within range back to the Blackline Live portal. Blackline Live uses
associated location information to improve the accuracy of the
device user’s reported location.
