The fields of indoor localization and positioning have seen extensive research in recent years. Their scientific soundness is of great importance, as information about an entity’s location in indoor environments can lead to innovative services and products. Various techniques and frameworks have been proposed, some of which are already in practical use. This article emphasizes the value of indoor localization data and proposes the adoption of a new virtual field known as the ‘Transactional Area Network’ (TAN). By presenting a custom yet simple real-time, peer-to-peer (and therefore decentralized) software implementation that provides positioning information to users via their smart devices, this article demonstrates the potential value of TAN. Finally, it explores how TAN can increase the adoption rate of indoor positioning applications, enhance interactions between people in nearby locations and therefore amplify data generation.
