The Case for Real Time Location Systems - RTLS

From Technology to Business Reality

Real time location system (RTLS) technology first came to market in early 2000 when several vendors began testing how different wireless systems could be used to locate mobile assets and people within enterprise campuses. From a technical marvel almost a decade ago, the core RTLS technology has matured into a viable solution for today's business challenges of determining the location of assets or people. But the full potential is still waiting to be unleashed.

The next step toward realizing the true capabilities of RTLS will be tighter integration with enterprise processes. This white paper discusses the characteristics of an RTLS solution. Additionally it examines how the RTLS market is expected to evolve during the next few years from a simple application that reports the location of assets into a standard and vital system component of the enterprise infrastructure.
