WiFi-based Asset Location and Tracking Systems

MarQuest supplies, installs and supports Ekahau’s revolutionary systems which use off-the-shelf WiFi infrastructure devices to provide accurate and consistent location information. The system centres around the Ekahau Positioning Engine which monitors and tracks mobile devices such as PDAs, barcode scanners and laptops, or specialist Tag devices, to deliver 3m special resolution. Applications include Asset Tracking and Location, Personal Security and Wireless Site Surveys.



Real-time people and asset tracking

Leveraging the Ekahau RTLS software platform, Ekahau Wi-Fi tags are the core of reliable and accurate positioning systems. Ekahau Wi-Fi tags enables real-time people and asset tracking in any standard Wi-Fi network. Tags can be attached to any mobile object or asset, and can be carried by people as well. The Ekahau Positioning Engine software reports the continuous location and movements of the tags within Wi-Fi coverage area.

The most significant benefit of Ekahau RTLS, including the Ekahau Wi-Fi tag, is that it operates over any standard 802.11 wireless networks. In comparison to proprietary tracking systems that require a separate network of hardware readers or gates for sensing the location of tags, Ekahau Wi-Fi tags requires no additional network hardware overlay.


Personal Security

All Ekahau WiFi Tags are equipped with a “panic button”. When the carrier of a tag presses this button systems can locate the person in need of assistance and deploy appropriate staff and resources. Typical applications for this type of system are in health care, education and security staff operations. By deploying this system organisations can improve employee safety and have better accountability in emergency situations.
