No new network.
Just location, integrated.
NAO® is built to run on the infrastructure you already have — your existing BLE and Wi-Fi — and to expose location through open APIs, so data flows into your apps and business systems without a parallel network.
In short: NAO® integrates with your environment instead of replacing it. It reuses existing BLE / Wi-Fi networks, exposes position and events via REST and MQTT, and ships developer SDKs — deployable in the cloud or on-premise.
Reuse the infrastructure you already have
NAO® Suite is designed around a unified infrastructure approach: existing Wi-Fi and BLE-enabled access points can often be reused as-is. In most cases, indoor location goes live without deploying a dedicated network.
Compatible with BLE-enabled enterprise networks
Reuse existing Wi-Fi / BLE
Existing Wi-Fi or smart-building multi-sensor access points can often be reused - leveraging your current investment.
Enhance only where needed
NAO® BlueSpot and BlueListener extend your existing infrastructure with the BLE/Wi-Fi capabilities required for positioning.
Or go fully standalone
Where there's no suitable network, a lightweight standalone infrastructure can be deployed instead - your choice.
Pole Star's approach complements your network - it doesn't replace it. The result: lower cost, faster deployment and less disruption. See how it fits ›
Location and events, exposed the standard way
NAO® Track computes positions and NAO® Cloud distributes them through open, standard interfaces - so your applications consume real-time location without duplicating logic or infrastructure.
REST API
Query positions, zones, assets and events on demand - ideal for dashboards, reports and business-system integration.
- Authenticated
- JSON
- Positions & zones
- Events & alerts
MQTT streaming
Subscribe to a real-time stream of positions and events as they happen - the low-latency path for live supervision and automation.
- Real-time
- Pub/Sub
- Low latency
- Secure
One integration point for your business systems
Through NAO® Cloud, location becomes available to the tools your teams already use - a single integration point that avoids technological silos.
ERP
Enterprise resource planning
CMMS
Maintenance management
EHR
Electronic health records
BMS
Building management
IoT platforms
Connected devices & sensors
Analytics & BI
Reporting & business intelligence
A single point, not a dozen silos
NAO® Cloud orchestrates BLE and Wi-Fi data flows and distributes normalized, real-time location data to the applications and systems that need it - so every tool works from the same source of truth.
SDKs to embed location in your own apps
Beyond APIs, NAO® ships developer SDKs to build indoor location directly into mobile and web applications - with tooling to configure and calibrate deployments.
NAO® Mobile SDK
Embed on-device indoor positioning into your mobile app, with indoor/outdoor continuity and geofencing.
JavaScript SDK
Bring location-based features - such as zone occupancy from NAO® Counting - into web applications.
REST & MQTT
Standard interfaces to query or stream positions and events into any stack, server-side or client-side.
Deploy your way - secured by default
Flexible deployment
- SaaS cloud - rapid rollout and elastic scale (NAO® Cloud)
- On-premise - full control and data sovereignty (NAO® Server)
- Hybrid - local control combined with cloud scalability
- Container-based delivery for self-hosting
Security & compliance
- Encrypted channels (SSL/TLS) and authenticated APIs
- Encryption in transit and at rest
- Roles & permissions - controlled, role-based access
- GDPR-compliant, with data minimization and controlled retention
Reuse your existing network
The green layer is what you already own. NAO® adds a thin software layer on top - and exposes the result to your apps and systems through REST and MQTT.
