Abstract. In this paper we describe possibility of use the RSSI signal (Radio Signal Strength Indication) from Texas Instruments SensorTag CC2650 for indoor positioning purposes. This idea is not a new but in our opinion it is possible to use SensorTags with Bluetooth LE wireless interface for positioning inside buildings in such applications as people findings in hospitals, senior come care, etc. RSSI is mostly selected as the sensor localization method in the indoor circumstances. In this paper, we aim to analyze accuracy, calibrate and map RSSI to distance by doing a series of the experiments. Obtained results are very promising and shows possibility of use this technique for position estimation
