What is Bluetooth Low Energy Tracking system
The BLE system operates by marking a
"beacon" or sending a transmission to a reader, and then transferring
that location to the cloud. IBeacon is an active RFID using BLE. There is usually
no IT integration, which is the least expensive RTLS option. You don't have to
cover the entire area that you end up deploying. You can start with a region, or
use a function, and then create the value before scaling. This "crawl,
walk, run" approach to testing and deployment is not available to most
RTLS solutions.
Positioning accuracy for active RFID
depends only on the number of readers you have, so many readers are needed to
achieve high accuracy. Users must consider that there is a significant cost
trade-off between the accuracy of UWB and the room-level accuracy of active
RTLS.
