Pitch:

Why we are different: The maturity of the solution with more than 43 million of sqf covered in more than 15 different countries, the unique set of tools to allow third party to independently extend the NAO Campus coverage, the “Zero impact” of the infrastructure make the solution dramatically different from the other existing solutions available on the market.

With ten years industry experience, Pole Star has reached a unique maturity based on a unique and innovative design to offer device centric Indoor positioning technology. NAO Campus® is based on a multi-technology fusion engine, enabling Pole Star to rapidly combine location via the Wi-Fi existing network with the smartphone motion sensors and Bluetooth low-energy to perfect the user’s position in 3D.

Recent Accomplishment: Pole Star unveiled last December, Mall Buddy App To Guide Shoppers Inside and Outside the US Shopping Malls. The application is now available for free for most Android devices on the Google Play store at http://tinyurl.com/mallbuddy.

With over 43 million square feet covered by NAO Campus, Pole Star already has an impressive customer portfolio including airports, malls, and convention centers throughout the world along with an extensive, trusted partner network.
