NEON Signal Mapper Developer’s Kits Available
NEON Signal Mapper was designed to simplify the task of signal mapping indoors.
Greenbelt, Maryland (PRWEB) October 23, 2015
TRX Systems, developer of the NEON Indoor Location Solution, today released NEON Signal Mapper, a new software application supporting test and measurement suppliers, wireless carriers, Wi-Fi deployment companies and engineering firms that deploy and test two-way radio networks. NEON Signal Mapper is an Android application tightly integrated with the NEON Indoor Location Solution that enables users to cost-effectively, quickly and accurately map the measurements taken indoors where GPS is unavailable.
Eliminating the need to take measurements using labor-intensive, time-consuming and error-prone manual techniques, the NEON Signal Mapper application allows users to:
- Quickly create geo-referenced 3D building maps
- Track user location in 3D
- Log user position and elevation
- Retrieve logs and export for processing
- Display log information on 3D maps
With NEON Signal Mapper, users can reduce the time, complexity and cost of indoor signal testing. The NEON Indoor Location Solution also provides an API that delivers this real-time location information, making it easy to integrate with existing test and measurement equipment and applications.
The NEON Signal Mapper's intuitive Android user interface and small tracking accessory enable lightly trained personnel to quickly and accurately log location information inside buildings. Users taking indoor signal measurements simply initialize their starting locations in the NEON Signal Mapper application and then walk through the building to generate time stamped location data that is synchronized with signal data. When the walk-throughs are complete, all of the collected location data is uploaded to the cloud, which enables centralized access to the data. The NEON Command Software allows visualization of 3D building maps showing the tracks and corresponding signal data collected.
"Enterprises, building owners, engineering companies and service providers are increasingly working to validate wireless coverage and service quality in complex indoor environments," said Carol Politi, CEO of TRX Systems. "NEON Signal Mapper was designed to simplify the task of signal mapping indoors by eliminating some of the error-prone manual processes used when collecting indoor signal data today."
TRX conducted a live demonstration of the NEON Signal Mapper application at the recent ION GNSS+ conference in Tampa, Fla. The demonstration met with rave reviews and was dubbed the "winning demonstration" of the show by GPS World. The TRX team used the new, small NEON Tracking Unit to map their movement across multiple floors and meeting rooms of the Tampa Convention Center with only inertial navigation and with no pre-planning or installed infrastructure.
