Is there anyone using Cypress BLE Modules for indoor location applications e.g. iBeacons? How accurate are your tests on the RSSI values? Is it quite enough? I'm getting some changeable RSSI Values on CySmart even if I keep the BLE Modules in fixed locations.

Hi,
The RSSI values aren't reliable for distance measurements particularly on in-doors.

Did you mean the Cypress Modules or generally? Some companies use RSSI values to estimate distance, with trilateration or etc.

You can do it, but it would take much work to regularize the RSSI to distance conversion. The RSSI readings follow a non-linear steps as distance is changed.

Thank you for the answer. I just wanted to be sure about whether or not we can use Cypress Modules for this work at least as successful as other providers modules. I will work on the estimation algorithms.
