What is the Gartner Magic Quadrant?
A Gartner Magic Quadrant is a culmination of research in a specific market, giving you a wide-angle view of the relative positions of the market’s competitors.
Gartner Magic Quadrant research methodology provides a graphical competitive positioning of four types of technology providers in markets where growth is high and provider differentiation is distinct: Leaders, Visionaries, Niche Players and Challengers.
By applying a graphical treatment and a uniform set of evaluation criteria, a Magic Quadrant helps you quickly ascertain how well technology providers are executing their stated visions and how well they are performing against Gartner’s market view.
What are Indoor Location Services?
Gartner defines the indoor location services market as “the hardware, software and service components that provide indoor location coordinates and services.” Indoor location solutions use differing hardware components, data collection methodologies, location data elements, location engine algorithms and architectures to achieve the core functionality of the indoor location market. Solutions look to provide the location of a static/mobile asset or person, as defined by the needs of the specific vertical market.
Location services provide the x, y and z location of business-critical assets within one meter (i.e., three feet) to address six major usage scenarios in diverse markets, including:
Static/fixed-asset monitoring applications
Mobile assets using location technology to address zonal requirements
Mobile/fixed assets with real-time location requirements
People tracking
Critical-asset tracking
Peer-to-peer distancing, including presence/proximity detection
