NOTE Location Engine is still in beta, additional features will be made publicly available in the upcoming months.
Location Engine allows you to keep track of your Kontakt.io beacons in real time.
What do I need?
In order to work with the Location Engine, the following items are required:
- Gateway
- Computer with USB ports or Power supply
- Kontakt.io beacons, BLE devices
- Location Engine Subscription Plan
Check out our Asset tracking starter kit. For more information about the current subscription plans, contact our sales team (sales@kontakt.io)
In order to track your beacons using Location Engine it is necessary to have some Gateways on your venue.
Please note that the Gateway doesn't include a battery, so it needs a constant power supply in order to work.

how can I create indoor location using your beacons? Basically, I want to develop a system for indoor location or you can say indoor navigation system. Does your system
(Beacons) have this functionality. Kindly guide me.
Thanks

Hi Ahmad,
To build an indoor navigation system, you would need to built an application that can use beacons' signal (e.g. trilaterate) to position itself on the map. This is quite challenging though, and you may find it easier to integrate an SDK from someone who has done it before. Unfortunately, we are not offering this kind of SDK/service.
