Angle of Arrival Explained: How BLE Achieves High-Accuracy Positioning
Most BLE systems use RSSI triangulation, which degrades quickly in dense, multipath environments. AoA uses antenna arrays to measure signal direction. The accuracy difference is significant.
6 Questions to Ask Every RTLS Vendor Before You Sign
After reviewing dozens of RTLS proposals, patterns emerge — both in what good vendors disclose upfront and what bad ones bury in the contract. These six questions separate them fast.
How Long Does RTLS Deployment Actually Take?
Legacy RTLS vendors quote 6–18 months. Modern BLE systems with cloud infrastructure deploy in weeks. Here's what drives the difference — and the questions to ask at each phase.
Staff Duress Alerting: What Hospital Security Directors Need to Know About RTLS
When a staff member activates a duress alarm, response times without location data average 4–7 minutes. With room-level RTLS, that drops below 90 seconds. The operational and liability implications are significant.
