Hospitals might be the most chaotic buildings on earth. Some people are cut open. Others are sewn back up. Some breathe their first breath. Others breathe their last. And, all this can happen in the matter of a few minutes. Nurses and doctors bounce around those hallways like they’re stuck in a pinball machine. And, amidst all this chaos, they’re supposed to perform live-or-die tasks. While it seems like doctors will always be kicking water uphill against the downpour of life’s disasters, technology has been a friend. Turn-Key Technologies realizes that those individuals working in the healthcare field need all the help they can get. By implementing real time locating systems (RTLS), hospitals are operating at a much more efficient level.
A real time locating system is exactly what it sounds like. By using radio frequency, you’re able to locate anything emitting a signal in real time. You can have real time updates on which doctors are in surgery and which ones are in the coffee shop without having to page them. In addition to knowing the whereabouts of your own personnel, you can also locate any patient. Patients can wander or be placed in the wrong room from time to time, but now you know whenever someone is on the move. Furthermore, you can also know the exact location of any hospital equipment. Basically, the system acts like big brother—the eye in the sky. And, in a world that can produce unyielding chaos, it doesn’t hurt to have someone watching over you.

Wireless LAN Basics
