Geolocationing system and method for use of same

A system for providing awareness in a multi-space environment, the system comprising:

• a programming interface configured to communicate with a gateway deice, the gateway device including housing securing a processor, non-transitory memory, and a wireless transceiver in a busing architecture;
• the non-transitory memory accessible to the processor, the non-transitory memory including a gateway device identification providing an accurately-known fixed location, the non-transitory memory including processor-executable instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
• receive a beacon signal via the wireless transceiver from a proximate wireless-enabled personal locator device, the beacon signal including a personal locator device identification and transmitted signal strength identification,
• measure received signal strength of the beacon signal,
• transmit a gateway signal to a server, the gateway signal including the personal locator device identification, the gateway device identification, the transmitted signal strength identification, and received signal strength measurement;
• and
• an estimated location of the proximate wireless-enabled personal locator device determined by a plurality of gateway signals, including the gateway signal, utilizing trilateration, received signal strength modeling, and transmitted signal strength modeling.
