Emergency Situations Require Ekahau RTLS

When an emergency arises, knowing the whereabouts of the necessary equipment and people to save the situation is key to a successful outcome. The situation could be in a hospital emergency room where a resuscitation device is needed immediately or it could be at an information technology center where a system guru must be located to avoid a complete meltdown. Either way, proper technology to find the needed resource is as important as life or death.

This is where RFID and RTLS come into play. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) works hand in hand with a RTLS (Real Time Locating System) to track and identify objects, equipment or people, in real time location. The RFID is a tag applied to the object that has the capability of being tracked through radio waves. Once a tag is applied to an object, a RTLS is installed to collect information on the location of the RFID tags. For example, if a heart surgeon carrying a RFID tag needs to be located immediately, the RTLS can determine his or her whereabouts and report the location to the team trying to track him down.

Turn-Key Technologies has excelled in the industry by creating a Wi-Fi Based RFID/RTLS product called Ekahau RTLS. The product can operate on any Wi-Fi network with no readers, cables, choke-points, or exciters.
