Upgrade to Ekahau's Wi-Fi real-time location systems (RTLS) includes the launch of the RTLS Controller (ERC) 5.0, which introduces tighter integration with wireless platforms from leading network providers. Improved Wi-Fi tag-management capabilities, additional sensor functionality and an expanded list of tracked Wi-Fi devices, including tags from other RTLS vendors, are enhancements. ERC is able to perform two-way communication with Wi-Fi location tags over the Wi-Fi network, supporting a wide variety of “smart Wi-Fi tag” functions such as remote tag configuration and messaging, changing tag beacon rates, and local alerting and sensing services.
