Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS)

From high-value
asset tracking, IT management, and location-based security
to Enhanced 911 services, asset management, and workflow
automation, Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) can
simultaneously track the physical location (within a few
meters) of thousands of devices from within a WLAN
infrastructure.
Traditionally
the province of proprietary RFID solutions, RTLS systems use
Wi-Fi networks for applications such as location trending, rapid problem resolution, and RF
capacity management, asset tracking, security and more.
While proprietary infrastructure based solutions such as
Infrared, TDOA, and RFID come with high hardware
infrastructure costs in the form of ID tags, reader gates
and antennas, Wi-Fi RTLS systems leverage existing wireless
networks while offering the same high levels of accuracy.
The demand for
RTLS products, particularly in the healthcare vertical is
red hot and continues strong growth. Today, less than
five percent of North American health care facilities are
currently equipped with asset management systems.
However, generated revenues are expected to grow from the
current market of $59 million to more than $839 million by
2012.
While the
benefits of RTLS systems are significant, properly deploying
these systems to provide the level of accuracy and
reliability desired requires professional-grade
wireless site surveys.
C3-Wireless offers the best combination of experience,
tools, and training to successfully deploy advanced wireless
networks capable of supporting RTLS systems.

Wireless Voice over IP (wVoIP)
wVoIP systems
are the "killer app" of wireless networking and offer
enormous benefits. However they are also one of the
most demanding and difficult solutions to implement.
Systems such as Vocera or phones from Cisco or SpectraLink
need stellar coverage and must also consider capacity
issues. Poorly implemented solutions result in
unacceptable sound quality. Too few access points can
result in dead spots and dropped calls, while too many
access points can cause co-channel interference...

Mission-Critical Client\Server
Applications
From healthcare
to small business, the benefits of making applications
mobile is obvious and highly desired. In many cases,
client-server applications originally written for wired
(Ethernet) networks are ported to a wireless environment.
These applications are often "stateful," meaning they expect
a constant connection. This means unless the wireless
network is extremely well-implemented, results will be
inconsistent and often lead to the application crashing
unexpectedly...

Manufacturing
Manufacturing is
one of the verticals to benefit most from wireless
networking. Materials handling, inventory and asset
management using wands, scanners and imagers can
significantly increase accuracy, efficiency and
productivity. However, due to the constantly changing
environment, large amounts of highly absorptive and
reflective material, heavy machinery and the need for high
levels of mobility...

Wireless Bridge Links
Once an
organization has grown to the point of needing connectivity
between multiple buildings, providing reliable and
affordable data throughput becomes a challenge.
Monthly charges from poor performing dedicated leased lines
make implementing a direct link highly attractive.
However, the cost of running fiber or other wired solution
is often cost prohibitive, making a wireless bridge link an
viable alternative. Because these backbone links must
be highly reliable, the need for a well-implemented wireless
network is critical...

Education
From K-12 to
college campuses, laptops have become commonplace with
students and teachers. Whether for Internet access
across an entire campus, or connectivity for client-server
applications, wireless networking has become a fixture for
education, in lieu of enduring the expense and
disruptiveness of physically cabling the facilities...

Hotels/Hospitality
From 5-star
resorts to budget hotels, guests expect nothing less today
than Internet connectivity. To remain competitive,
hotels must offer this service in not only their conference
rooms, but throughout the entire facilities. Wireless
networks make this possible in an affordable way, without
the burden of wiring every room. Designing these
systems to provide the required coverage and reliability
needed can be achieved on almost any budget...

Indoor and Outdoor Mesh
Mesh networks
replace the standard wired backhaul to connect access points
together with a wireless connection and offer self-healing
and dynamic route optimization capabilities to offer a
simple and cost-effective solution for deployment.
Outdoor wireless Mesh solutions allow government agencies to
minimize capital, deployment, and operational expenses when
deploying high-performance broadband to improve services for
employees and local residents.

Government and Military
Government and
Military organizations see numerous benefits from wireless
networks. Implementations have unique restrictions
such as FIPS 140.2 security standards, etc. that require
careful navigation from knowledgeable professionals to
ensure regulatory compliance. With numerous references
from organizations such as the Dept. of Energy, Dept. of
Agriculture, and the US Army Reserve, we can ensure
successful and reliable implementations.
