1. A system for providing awareness in a multi-space environment, the system comprising:
a programming interface being configured to communicate with at least one of an array of gateway devices, each gateway device being positioned within a space in the multi-space environment, each gateway device having a gateway device identification providing an accurately-known fixed location, each gateway device including a housing, a wireless transceiver associated with the housing, and a memory accessible to the processor; and
the memory including processor-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system, with respect to at least one of the array of gateway devices, 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
transmit a gateway signal to a server, the gateway signal including the personal locator device identification and the gateway device identification.
