The economic newspaper Expansión reports on Situm’s international leap and its indoor location technology solutions.
In its Digital Economy section, Expansión describes the company’s first steps from its foundation under the patronage of the University of Santiago de Compostela to its internationalisation. Nowadays this indoor location technology is present in over 40 countries.
PhDs in Robotics and Artificial Engineering Víctor Álvarez, Adrián Canedo and Cristina Gamallo were the founders and continue to head Situm today, the article continues.
Precise indoor positioning
The algorithm developed by Situm composes the positioning engine “that adapts to any space without the need for a hardware installation, while ensuring a precision that did not exist until now”. This system also makes it possible to distinguish levels, lifts or stairs.
Thus, this solution for a reliable indoor location is integrated “into any Android or iOS application and using existing elements inside the building“.
Mobile World Congress
Finally, the presentation by Telefónica during the 2016 Mobile World Congress is also noteworthy. The result of this union is the implementation of the application in all hospitals and health centres in Galicia.
Among the many benefits of Situm are increased knowledge of the potential customer in the commercial field or the exact location of the security personnel for rapid intervention in case of risk.
