The Mizkhan Museum recently deployed the Quuppa positioning system, powered by Bluetooth technology, to improve the interactive visitor experience and gain valuable information on visitor movement throughout the museum. The app-based solution that guides visitors through the museum from the moment they enter the facility, providing highaccuracy location information. Mizkan can use this information to analyse the pattern of visitor flow and gain insight into which exhibits are the most popular.
Deployment of the Quuppa system took only a single day and has allowed Mizkan to create a wholly unique experience based on how visitors move throughout the museum.
a) Discuss the prospect of using WiFi technology on indoor positioning instead of Bluetooth. Provide a comparative analysis.
b) Draw a conceptual network diagram using Bluetooth Technology and explain how the visitors would be tracked during their visit to the Museum.
c) Both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth utilise the unlicensed 2.4 GHz ISM band, resulting in a potential for interference between the two. Discuss potential techniquies for the coexistence of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
