For week 7, we did our practical on using real time location system technology with wireless network with the help of the tso Johnny.
From what i know, there are many types of tracking technologies in use today. But for the lab, we are going to use the Ekahau's WIFI based RTLS. This technology uses software-based algorithms to compute location of tracked objects, eliminating the need for exciters, choke points, receivers and other proprietary hardware infrastructure. It can easily scale to support tens of thousands of tags on a single server. With wifi, it's easier and convenient to implement RTLS.
We were given the laptop and the tag.. The group need to plan a route and walk around. When there's a turn, we need to click the point on the lappy. After everything, we went back to the room and sort of trace the route..
The T301-ATAG.
One example of the program..
It's kind of interesting for this lab!
