What is SubPos?

SubPos is a dataless Wi‑Fi positioning system that doesn’t require expensive licensing, specialised hardware, laborious area profiling, or reliance on data connectivity. It works independently of—or alongside—GPS/WPS/IPS by exploiting capabilities commonly available in Wi‑Fi access points and receivers.

Why SubPos
