Wheere in Le Figaro: an overview of our indoor geolocation technology
An article published in Le Figaro on January 17, 2025 highlights our indoor geolocation technology. The article looks in detail at our "indoor GPS" solution, capable of ensuring precise localization inside buildings and underground, where traditional geolocation systems such as GPS or Galileo reach their limits.
Technological innovation for critical issues
As the article points out, over 80% of human and industrial activity takes place indoors, in places such as hospitals, factories or underground infrastructures. The solution developed by Wheere is based on an innovative algorithm that uses low frequencies to bypass physical obstacles and offer meter-level accuracy, without requiring the massive installation of additional antennas or transmitters.

A global ambition and a fast-growing market
In the article, our co-founder Pierre-Arnaud Coquelin talks about our ambitious project to deploy a constellation of 300 satellites by 2028. This space network will enable us to provide global coverage without additional terrestrial infrastructure, meeting the growing needs of the security, industrial and healthcare sectors.
The Le Figaro article relays figures concerning the indoor geolocation market, which is growing rapidly, estimated at between 22% and 30% a year, reaching up to $150 billion by 2030. Wheere has positioned itself as a key player against the giants of the sector, with solutions already adopted by major players in industry and defense.
First concrete results
Numerous companies from a wide range of sectors, including industry and defense, are showing a keen interest in our indoor geolocation solution. Several of them have already placed their trust in us, and we have signed firm contracts with a number of major market players. The first deployments are currently underway, marking a key stage in the validation and adoption of our technology in the field.
