Real-Time Locating
RTLS are wireless systems with the ability to locate the position of an item anywhere in a defined space (local/campus, wide area/regional, global) at a point in time that is, or is close to, real time. Position is derived by measurements of the physical properties of the radio link. Conceptually there are four classifications of RTLS:
- A) Locating an asset over a terrestrial area using a terrestrial mounted receiver over a wide area, e.g. cell phone towers - accuracy to 200 m.
- B) Locating an asset via satellite (requires line-of-sight) - accuracy to 10 m.
- C) Locating an asset in a controlled area, e.g. warehouse, campus, airport (area of interest is instrumented) - accuracy to 3 m.
- D) Locating an asset in a more confined area (area of interest is instrumented) - accuracy to tens of centimeters.
ZOMOFI supports B), C), D) in the following fashion:
