Kathrein’s real-time location system (RTLS) is a superior technology that detects the current geolocation of a target, be it a person, vehicle or an item in a manufacturing plant. Enterprises can use this precise positioning system to track and manage varying objects in real-time scenarios, ranging from industrial and healthcare to commercial environments.
The unique combination of UWB with RAIN RFID and NFC technology, allow an easy and seamless integration into the existing RFID infrastructure. Based on long-term experience in RTLS solutions, Kathrein developed its own line of UWB (Ultra-Wide Band) based RTLS in 2019, which has been successfully deployed since.
