Abstract :
This article presents the seven-step process involved in building a practical Wi-Fi-based indoor navigation system, which was implemented at the COEX complex in Seoul, Korea, in October 2010. The article describes the primary activities in each step using the COEX example. More than 200,000 users have downloaded the system since its first release. The successful launch of the COEX indoor navigation system suggests that indoor navigation is becoming a reality.
