Wi-Fi-based RTLS Technology

Wi-Fi technology uses wireless access points distributed throughout the facility, which may be used for wireless network connectivity for laptops and PDAs, to determine the location of the Wi-Fi tagged asset. The technology's primary advantage is that the same wireless data infrastructure installed for network connectivity and voice-over-IP can be leveraged for locating assets as well. Because the technology has a lower room-level accuracy rate (typically 80-85%), it is more suitable for general asset locating and tracking than for locating people. Key attributes of the technology:

Leverages common data network infrastructure
Typical accuracy of 10-30 feet - not suitable for applications requiring room-level accuracy, but reasonable for enterprise asset locating
Tags are a bit larger, but offer up to 5 years on a standard AA battery
