The main challenge in using iBeacon or Eddystone signals for indoor positioning is the variance of RSSI readings due to their sensitivity to environment factors. These factors include attenuation of signal due to physical obstacles: walls, doors, metal objects. The inside of buildings is not free space, so accuracy is impacted by absorption and reflection from walls. Moving objects such as doors, vehicles, and people can pose an even greater issue, as they can affect the signal strength in unpredictable ways.

To maximise the accuracy of positioning, EyeBeacons should be installed on the walls, ceiling or racks and their position will remain fixed. Clear line of sight should be maintained for optimal coverage of the beacon signal. For best tracking coverage and accuracy results, beacons should be installed in such a way, that at least 3 beacon transmissions can be detected at any point of the indoor facility. The maximum open-field distance of EyeBeacon detection is 80 meters, however, indoor signal range will be smaller and depend on the configured transmitting power of the Eye beacon as well as layout of the facility. In general, the more beacons are set up, the higher the positioning accuracy.
