Indoor positioning specialist Papaya launches the nation's largest indoor navigation service

It covers the largest indoor space in Korea, stretching 1.5km in a straight line.

Papaya (CEO Jeon Young-jun, Kim Tae-yeop), a specialist in indoor positioning, announced that it has successfully built the nation's largest indoor navigation service in a vast indoor space connecting Daejeon Station and Jungang-ro Underground Shopping Center.

The indoor navigation service launched by Papaya provides real-time location information for users and real-time directions to help them search for stores within the underground shopping center and find their desired destination. The newly built service covers the largest indoor space in Korea, spanning 160,000㎡. The Jungang-ro Underground Shopping Center connects Daejeon Jung-gu Office to Daejeon Station underground, stretching 1.5km in a straight line.

The Daejeon Station indoor navigation service is significant as it is built based on a detailed address system assigned to each underground store as part of the 'Address System Modernization and Address-Based Innovative Industry Creation Project' announced by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety. Now, every store indoors, as well as objects like defibrillators and fire hydrants, will have an address, facilitating rapid response in emergency situations.

Papaya has significantly improved user convenience by combining this indoor address system with accurate indoor positioning technology, demonstrating the potential of applied services and establishing a foundation for nationwide expansion.

Regarding the launch of this navigation service, Papaya CEO Kim Tae-yeop said, “We focused on extending the convenience users experience with outdoor maps to indoor spaces.” He added, “The successful launch in Daejeon will serve as a catalyst for establishing new standards for indoor positioning technology and services nationwide.” He emphasized, “Papaya will continue to drive technological innovation while maintaining its leading position in the indoor navigation field.”

Meanwhile, Papaya is an enterprise residing in the Digital Content Company Growth Support Center, established by the Ministry of Science and ICT and operated by the Korea Institute for Information & Communications Technology Promotion and the Next Generation Convergence Content Industry Association. Through specialized consulting in areas like promotion and marketing, management, global market development, and investment attraction, Papaya has garnered recognition for its outstanding indoor positioning technology both domestically and internationally, and is dedicated to developing innovative technologies to enhance the convenience of indoor pedestrian traffic.
