Wifi LBS Company Ekahau receives award by The Wall Street Journal

ekahauEkahau Inc., a leading provider of Wi-Fi-based Real Time Location Systems (RTLS), this week was recognized in a special section featuring The Wall Street Journal’s 2006 Technology Innovation Awards contest winners. Now in its sixth year, the contest honors technologies that represent a breakthrough from conventional methods rather than incremental improvements to existing technology.

This year’s Wall Street Journal Technology Innovation Awards drew more than 600 applicants, which were scrutinized by panel of independent judges – representing industry, academia and research institutions. Winners were selected in 12 industry categories and 37 runners-up. Ekahau was named runner up in the wireless category.

Ekahau was honored for its leadership in the development of the Ekahau RTLS, which uses standard Wi-Fi infrastructure as the foundation for an economical wireless location tracking solution. Competitive systems such as various active RFID systems, require the use of proprietary and expensive infrastructure to track the location or assets or people.

Ekahau has the only non-proprietary RTLS solution that can be implemented 100 percent over standard Wi-Fi networks, and delivers the industry’s best reliability and location accuracy. The technology is used in a number of markets – including healthcare, homeland security, government military, manufacturing, mining and supply chain – to streamline processes, improve customer service and comply with regulatory mandates such as Sarbanes-Oxley and JCAHO.
