The solution uses the standard Wirepas positioning approach, so accuracy depends largely on the network design and anchor placement rather than the tag alone. With a properly planned and installed setup, accuracy is typically within several meters and can reach around 1 meter or even sub-meter levels under favorable conditions.

Actual results also depend on the floor plan, walls, metal structures, radio conditions, and coverage density. In Wialon Platform, teams can see the building, floor, and zone where an asset was last detected, helping them narrow the search to the relevant room or work area. For use cases like locating wheelchairs or equipment, room-level accuracy is usually enough to find the asset quickly.

The indoor network uses Wirepas Mesh over the 2.4 GHz band. Unlike conventional BLE beacon positioning, it uses a mesh network of tags and anchors. A compatible gateway sends data to the backend via MQTT, while Wirepas communication supports AES-128 encryption.

For now, the solution combines Wialon Platform with compatible Teltonika hardware: EYE Beacon Mesh and EYE Sensor Mesh tags, Mesh anchors, and gateways. The list of compatible hardware is expected to expand over time. 

Tags identify the assets. Always-on, battery-powered anchors provide indoor reference points and pass data through the Wirepas Mesh network. A compatible gateway sends the network data to Wialon Platform, where teams can see the latest detected location.

The number of devices depends on the facility, its layout, and how precisely the customer needs to narrow the search.

Wialon indoor asset tracking works particularly well in hospitals, factories, airports, depots, and other large facilities where room- or zone-level visibility helps teams find equipment faster.

Projects involving outdoor or underground areas, deliberate radio interference, hazardous environments, or special industry requirements should be assessed individually. 

Typical indoor communication range is about 10–20 meters, but walls, metal structures, floor layout, and expected tag density all affect the final design. The Wirepas positioning dimensioning guide and calculator can help estimate the required infrastructure based on the floor plan and target accuracy.

Wirepas Mesh is designed for high-density projects, but there is no single limit that applies to every setup. Capacity depends mainly on how often tags report. For example, one anchor can support approximately 840 tags when each tag sends an update once per hour. With less frequent updates, that number can reach several thousand; shorter intervals reduce it.

Anchor and gateway placement, network design, and radio conditions also affect the result. For larger projects, capacity should be calculated and tested against the expected traffic.

The network automatically selects less congested channels and coordinates when devices transmit, helping to reduce signal collisions. Walls, metal structures, and other obstacles can still weaken the signal, so these conditions should be checked when planning the site.

For moving assets, a typical update interval is 5–15 minutes. The solution is designed for periodic location updates rather than real-time tracking below 1 minute. The interval can be adjusted to balance data freshness, battery life, and network capacity.

Depending on the settings, movement, and network load, batteries can last up to 10 years. Wialon shows battery status, while Teltonika supports remote configuration and firmware updates through the mesh. The batteries in the current EYE Mesh devices are not user-replaceable, so replacement cycles should be included in the maintenance plan.

EYE Beacon Mesh and EYE Sensor Mesh tags have mounting points on both sides, allowing the installation method to be adapted to the asset, surface, and operating environment.

EYE Beacon Mesh supports asset identification and magnet detection. EYE Sensor Mesh also measures temperature, humidity, movement, and magnetic status.

In Wialon, teams can see an asset’s location, tag connection status, and battery level. Sensor readings and device commands are not displayed yet. The solution works with active tags; passive tags and an audible “ping” function are not supported.

Indoor zones serve a different purpose from the geofences used in other Wialon products. They reflect the rooms, departments, bays, and other work areas shown on the customer’s floor plans.

The Wialon indoor asset tracking solution shows where an asset was last detected. Currently, it does not include movement history, reports, or entry, exit, and dwell-time alerts. The focus is on the core use case: quickly finding an asset, such as a wheelchair or tool. As the solution evolves and new use cases emerge, its functionality will expand. 

Yes. Customers can search for equipment on the web and continue from the Wialon Platform mobile app while moving through the facility.

Wialon Platform also provides API access, giving partners the flexibility to connect indoor asset data with other parts of the customer’s workflow.

An asset is not tied to a single building or gateway. It can be detected in any building with a compatible, configured indoor network.

Wialon supports both indoor asset tracking and vehicle tracking. These are separate scenarios, so indoor and outdoor movements are not combined into one continuous location history.

Wialon indoor asset tracking requires a dedicated Wirepas Mesh setup with compatible tags, anchors, and gateways. Existing Wi-Fi can provide connectivity for a compatible gateway, but it does not replace the anchor network inside the facility.

Existing BLE beacons cannot be added directly to the indoor tracking setup. However, outside the mesh network, Teltonika EYE Mesh tags can fall back to iBeacon or Eddystone broadcasting and work with compatible Teltonika vehicle trackers.

Wialon Platform is cloud-based, so the indoor asset tracking solution is available only in the cloud, not as an on-premises version.
