Inpixon’s award-winning Indoor Positioning Analytics (“IPA”) Platform uses radio frequency sensors to anonymously identify the indoor location of wireless devices, such as cell phones. IPA is then able to leverage an artificial intelligence-powered data analytics engine to reveal actionable intelligence, such as visitor counts and customer behavior patterns, and deliver this information to customers and users in real time. IPA helps retailers, property owners, businesses and government agencies to deliver superior customer experience and enhanced security.

“I’m thrilled to join such a talented and passionate team, with proven technology that benefits customers every day,” commented Mr. Benson. “The potential for indoor positioning analytics and location-aware security solutions is extraordinary. I especially look forward to continuing the infusion of artificial intelligence and data analytics into everything we do.”
