Indoor positioning systems (IPS) can most easily be explained as GPS for indoor locations. An indoor positioning system allows users to accurately pinpoint the location of people or assets inside a building using smartphones, mobile devices, [tracking tags](https://www.inpixon.com/technology/rtls/tags) or other devices. ## How Does it Work? Using a variety of sensors, IPS technology detects and tracks data about a device’s location. This can be accomplished using either internal sensors and radio receivers in smart phones and other IoT wearable devices or with radio frequency sensors, or [anchors](https://www.inpixon.com/technology/rtls/anchors), installed throughout an indoor space. The location data is ingested by the positioning system generating accurate coordinates which are displayed on a dynamically updated map.
