The Ekahau RTLS solution requires a Wi-Fi network and no additional infrastructure. The Ekahau system consists of Ekahau Wi-Fi tags, the Ekahau RTLS Controller that is used to locate and manage tracked devices and Ekahau Vision for visualizing the tracked items and configuring location-based business rules.
In addition to tracking Wi-Fi enabled devices, such as tablets and smartphones, Ekahau RTLS can track small, battery-powered Wi-Fi tags. The tags are mounted to high-value assets or carried by people. Wristwatch sized and credit-card sized tags are available for providing improved safety and security to staff members in hospitals, nursing homes, and more. The credit-card sized tag also acts as a Wi-Fi pager with two-way communications and a text display.
Unlike RFID which is limited to tracking tags only where the RFID readers are, the Ekahau RTLS system can track the tags and Wi-Fi devices anywhere within the Wi-Fi footprint of the facility in real-time.
The Ekahau-Extricom solution is available today from Extricom sales representatives globally.
