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.
You may find some help from these blog entries:
