Standards-based asset and people tracking
over Wi-Fi
The Ekahau Real-Time Location System is
a wireless radio frequency solution that
continually monitors and reports real-time
locations of tracked resources. Unlike competing
solutions which are based on Time Difference
of Arrival (TDOA) technology, Bluetooth
or active RFID, and therefore require deployment
of costly RF- antennas or receivers, Ekahau's
patented RF modelling technology leverages
standard Wi-Fi access points, so no proprietary
infrastructure is needed. By using standard
802.11 access points and Wi-Fi tags, any
Wi-Fi network can now work as the backbone
and sensor network for a real-time location
system. This quickly translates into faster
deployment and improved cost-effectiveness.
