Testing of P2P Group’s AI-driven wifi signal tracking system has demonstrated sub-metre precision from 10cm to 1m, achieving the same accuracy as BLE 5.1 without requiring specialised tracking hardware.

This breakthrough could remove capital expenditure for the deployment of beacons, locators and gateways, which is a multi-billion-dollar annual hardware market growing to $70bn by 2039 before software subscriptions and installation costs, eliminating barriers to entry, key complexity and scalability barriers associated with traditional BLE-based tracking.

Traditional IoT BLE beacons rely on battery-powered sensors, locators and professional installation to achieve high-precision tracking. P2P focuses its AI-driven approach on delivering the same outcome but eliminating all hardware requirements, using existing wifi signals.

The cost of deploying BLE 5.1-based tracking grows exponentially due to required hardware purchases, professional installations and ongoing maintenance. The data highlight the efficiencies and cost savings of P2P Group’s Inturai AI-powered tracking. Additionally, when scaled across multiple sites, BLE-based systems increased capital and operational costs, while Inturai scales without additional hardware expenses.

Unlike traditional BLE tracking systems requiring regular hardware upgrades and maintenance, Inturai continuously leverages AI to improve over time.

“Testing confirms that AI-enhanced wifi tracking can replicate BLE 5.1’s precision, and we expect it to get much better over time,” said Ed Clarke, CEO of P2P Group. “By removing hardware entirely, we’re addressing the significant cost and deployment challenges in real-time home and site intelligence across hundreds of billions of dollars of addressable market. This approach makes high-precision spatial intelligence more scalable and accessible than ever before.”

This technology offers benefits in healthcare with passive monitoring for fall detection and movement analysis, in smart homes and security for tracking without cameras or wearables, in logistics and retail, and in industrial and military applications.

Canadian firm P2P (www.p2p-group.com) says it will continue development and testing in various environments to improve reliability, scalability and long-term AI improvements.

On the sales side, the company is developing its go-to-market plan and expanding sales channels. Efforts are focused on increasing market presence and driving customer acquisition. Initiatives are underway to accelerate growth and reach key target audiences.
