Text to the Tracking Tag
By Eric Griffith
Ekahau’s newest generation of Wi-Fi tracking tags does more than find things. It’ll find you. And it’ll send you a message.
The third-generation T301-B is the first from the many Real Time Location Systems (RTLS) companies that make Wi-Fi tags (Aeroscout and Pango Networks are some others) to build in a small display screen to receive text messages.
"The form factor is easy for putting into a pocket or wearing as a pendant," says Arttu Huhtiniemi, Ekahau’s director of product management. "The display lets an application send a text message to the user of the tag, all on the same channel we use to locate them via Wi-Fi."
