Sonitor Expands Staff Safety Capabilities by Leveraging AstraNav’s M-GPS® Geomagnetic Positioning Technology

Integration enables infrastructure-free indoor positioning within Sonitor’s staff safety mobile application

ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sonitor, a global leader in precision indoor location intelligence for healthcare, today announced their commercial agreement to leverage geomagnetic location technology from AstraNav within its staff safety mobile app-based solution to deliver indoor location capabilities without the need for additional infrastructure.

AstraNav is the developer of the patented M-GPS® software, which provides 3D geolocation services using the Earth’s magnetic field and inexpensive sensors built into everyday devices. Through this integration, Sonitor will enhance its mobile-based staff safety offering by enabling reliable indoor positioning directly on supported smartphones without requiring investments in traditional RTLS infrastructure.

“This integration represents a significant step forward in mobile staff safety,” said Tim Wildman, Chief Commercial Officer at Sonitor. “By leveraging AstraNav’s geomagnetic positioning capabilities within our staff safety mobile app, we can deliver indoor location functionality without deploying additional infrastructure thereby making safety more accessible, scalable, and cost-effective for healthcare organizations.”

Sonitor’s enhanced staff safety mobile application will support:

• Indoor location visibility for staff members using approved smartphones
• Rapid duress alerting with real-time position awareness
• Infrastructure-free deployment in areas where traditional RTLS may not be practical
• Expansion of safety coverage across broader healthcare environments

This capability complements Sonitor’s broader SonitorONE platform, which unifies multiple locating technologies and workflow applications into a single enterprise solution. Healthcare organizations can now extend staff safety coverage using mobile devices while maintaining integration with Sonitor’s enterprise-grade RTLS and software ecosystem.

“We are proud to see our M-GPS technology leveraged within Sonitor’s staff safety solution,” said Anton Toutov, CEO of AstraNav. “We share Sonitor’s vision of improving the safety and productivity of employees and patients in healthcare.”

With this integration, Sonitor continues to expand practical, cost-effective safety solutions for healthcare organizations seeking scalable deployment options.
