Which two types of location-based services does Mist offer?

Mist offers two types of location-based services that leverage advanced technologies to provide accurate positioning information. The first type is WiFi location, which utilizes existing WiFi infrastructure to determine the physical location of devices within the network. This approach capitalizes on the signal strength and triangulation techniques used to estimate a device’s position based on proximity to multiple access points. This method is particularly effective in indoor environments where GPS signals may be weak or unavailable.

The second type is BLE location, or Bluetooth Low Energy location. This technology uses Bluetooth beacons placed throughout a facility to track the geolocation of devices. BLE technology is known for its low power consumption and can provide fine-grained location data, which is valuable for applications such as asset tracking, wayfinding, and enhanced visitor experiences.

These services enable organizations to enhance user experiences, improve operational efficiency, and gain insights into how spaces are utilized, making them essential components of Mist's offering for location-based services.
