FAQ
Partners & ecosystem, answered
What types of partners are in the Pole Star ecosystem?
Three types: integrators & software vendors who deploy and build on NAO®, compatible BLE infrastructure providers whose networks run NAO®, and mapping partners whose indoor cartography complements NAO® positioning.
Which network vendors are compatible with NAO®?
NAO® runs on BLE-enabled networks from Cisco, HPE Aruba, Arista Networks, Extreme Networks, Fortinet, Schneider Electric and Distech Controls - reusing infrastructure you already own. More in Integrations & APIs.
Do I need to replace my network to deploy Pole Star?
No. In most cases NAO® reuses your existing Wi-Fi / BLE infrastructure, amortizing your networking investment across services and avoiding the cost of an overlay network of dedicated beacons and gateways.
Can integrators build their own solutions on NAO®?
Yes. Integrators and software vendors use the NAO® SDKs and open APIs to embed location into applications, safety systems and business platforms - for example, CriticalArc's SafeZone for staff safety.
