THE VOLAN POSITIONING SYSTEM (VPS)

A new, revolutionary micro-location technology built to optimize labor productivity and worker safety

TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION

As mobile assets and people move throughout the worksite, the Volan Positioning System publishes micro-location data to the Volan network every few seconds producing a virtual cloud of XYZ positioning data.

Our 100% wireless BLE mesh network creates geofenced spaces of any size, indoors or out… even underground. Our software and sensors create a virtual map which tracks all activity entering, leaving, and moving within each geofence.

Sensors publish the data packets throughout the mesh network through relay sensors that deliver them instantly to our analytics engine. Micro-location data is processed and secured in an encrypted analytics database.

Volan’s patented system automatically forms its own dynamic wireless mesh network anywhere in minutes. No dependency on smartphones, GPS, Wi-Fi, or fixed infrastructure. Easy to deploy, reconfigure, and scale.

HOW IT WORKS

Intelligent Network

Patented technology automatically forms and reforms its own dynamic wireless mesh network.
Self-healing network – if one network sensor fails, another sensor mends the connection, and data is never lost.
Automated digital geofencing allows for easy installation and integration.

HOW WE CAPTURE MICROLOCATION DATA

GEOFENCE THE SPACES

The 100% wireless BLE mesh network creates geofences in spaces of any size, indoors or out. We use our software and sensors to create a virtual map and then track all activity inside each geofence.

GENERATE MICRO-LOCATION DATA

Every few seconds, wearable sensors produce packets of data that include the precise three-dimensional location of each sensor.

WHY VOLAN POSITIONING SYSTEM (VPS)?

VPS is a private and independent BLE 5 mesh network providing the flexibility to implement in any space, indoors or outside.

WHY BLUETOOTH LOW ENERGY?

Bluetooth Low Energy avoids interference from other wireless devices.
Bluetooth Low Energy has lower power consumption than regular Bluetooth.
No line of sight means it can connect through any obstacles.

Bluetooth devices are far more cost-effective.
Bluetooth has a better range than infrared communication.
Bluetooth is easily upgradeable.

Introducing the Volan Way eBook: The Volan Guide to Smarter Airport Operations

Airports

Many airports still rely on outdated manual systems that create blind spots, slow emergency response, and increase operational risk. Volan’s new eBook, The Volan Way: From Dangerous Blind Spots to Real-Time Location Visibility, showcases how smart micro-location technology improves evacuation times, asset tracking, and FAA compliance. Unlike traditional systems, Volan installs in days and continues to work even when GPS and Wi-Fi fail.

What is Cold Chain Logistics? And Why Every Degree Counts

Airports

Cold chain storage is essential for maintaining the integrity of temperature-sensitive products like vaccines, biologics, and specialty medications. But traditional tracking methods can’t keep up with the demands of modern logistics. Volan Technology solves this challenge by delivering real-time location intelligence inside complex facilities, helping pharmaceutical and healthcare providers reduce risk, ensure compliance, and act fast when every second—and every degree—counts.
