Building tomorrow's smart cities with Wheere indoor geolocation
Modern cities, in their transformation towards the Smart City model, are adopting new technologies to improve the quality of life of their inhabitants. At the heart of this development, Wheere indoor geolocation is positioning itself as an innovative and essential solution. It responds to the contemporary challenges facing cities: security, mobility, public infrastructure management and commerce. Thanks to its unique ability to cover large urban areas indoors, Wheere optimizes the management of complex spaces and offers services tailored to the needs of citizens and municipalities.
Indoor geolocation: a strategic asset for Smart Cities
Geolocation has become an indispensable part of our daily lives, playing an essential role in navigation, traffic control, telecom and electricity network management, and many other sectors. According to a study by RTI International, a global loss of GPS could cost the world economy up to $1 billion a day. However, with 90% of human activity taking place indoors, especially in urban environments, traditional geolocation solutions remain ineffective for covering the interior of buildings.
This is where Wheere technology stands out, offering a solution perfectly suited to a variety of urban contexts.
Entire cities
Wheere can cover an entire city with a minimum of infrastructure. For example, just twenty-five antennas are enough to cover a city like Paris. This unique capability makes it an ideal solution to support the development of Smart Cities, addressing complex issues that conventional technologies are unable to resolve.
Urban districts and complexes
A few fixed antennas can cover strategic zones, such as shopping areas, business hubs, public infrastructures or sports complexes. This type of coverage makes it possible to effectively manage specific indoor geolocation needs, whether for equipment tracking, flow management or security.
Buildings
For smart buildings, whether public buildings or private offices, four antennas are enough to guarantee complete coverage. This makes it possible to monitor shared equipment, protect valuable assets, ensure the safety of isolated workers, and optimize space utilization through flow analysis.
Temporary or changing locations
Wheere mobile antennas make it possible to rapidly deploy the indoor geolocation solution in temporary locations. These antennas are easy to install and can be moved from one location to another as required, for example for cultural events, construction sites or temporary interventions.
5 ways to put Wheere indoor geolocation to work for Smart Cities
Protection for lone workers (PTI)
Construction sites, transport network maintenance operations and other urban activities demand high levels of safety, especially for lone workers. Wheere technology enables these workers to be located in real time, and their safety to be ensured by precise tracking of their position. In the event of an accident or emergency, rescue teams can intervene quickly, reducing risks and improving protection on urban worksites.
Security for high-value private and public property
Construction equipment, vehicles and public infrastructure represent major investments for municipalities and businesses. Wheere makes it possible to locate these assets in real time, reducing the risk of theft or misuse. Whether it's to monitor a fleet of construction machinery or critical equipment, indoor geolocation offers an enhanced security solution tailored to the needs of modern cities.
New mobility
Smart cities are encouraging the deployment of new mobility solutions, such as shared vehicles, electric bikes and autonomous shuttles. Wheere technology facilitates this transition by enabling the precise location of people and objects indoors, such as in railway stations, metro stations or underground parking lots. It helps make travel more fluid and improves passenger flow management, while integrating environmentally-friendly mobility services.
Trade
Whether in shopping centers or small boutiques, indoor geolocation enables retailers to optimize their operations. Thanks to Wheere, they can tailor the customer journey to specific needs, optimize visitor flows, or protect high-value objects. This technology also enables them to offer innovative services to their customers, such as in-store navigation or the location of specific items, thus enhancing the shopping experience.
Last-mile logistics
In dense urban centers, managing last-mile logistics is a real challenge. Wheere technology enables real-time tracking of deliveries, providing greater precision in locating parcels and delivery vehicles. This not only improves the punctuality of deliveries, but also reduces congestion due to navigation errors and optimizes routes in hard-to-reach areas.
Working together to accelerate the transition to smarter cities
Wheere is a key player in the transformation of cities into Smart Cities. By providing precise, reliable coverage for indoor geolocation, it enables municipalities, businesses and citizens to benefit from optimized services, whether in terms of security, mobility or resource management. By building smarter cities, Wheere contributes to improving the quality of life of residents and meeting the challenges of tomorrow's cities.
