Scientists of the Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunications and Computer Science of the Gdańsk University of Technology are the authors of the innovative indoor location system. Researchers developed algorithms and prepared devices containing the so-called reconfigurable antennas – enabling the location of individual objects with very high accuracy.

Gdańsk University of Technology signed an agreement with Copernicus Sp. z o. o. in Gdańsk concerning the transfer of the system to medical workers.
