October 14, 2009 - Ubisense announces a wireless deployment option for its eal-time location systems, allowing customers to reduce installation costs whilst still achieving 3D RTLS accuracy.Ubisense sensors can now operate in a 'wireless' mode, where they only need a local power supply and communicate over standard WiFi networks with the rest of the RTLS. This allows cost-effective coverage in areas which have existing mains power supply but would be expensive to reach with data cabling. Ubisense has seen strong interest in this capability from the manufacturing, transit, and worker safety sectors, particularly in large open areas where sites have existing coverage for power (for example, for lighting or security systems), but where cabling costs for RTLS deployment might be prohibitive.
Both wired and wireless sensors can be mixed within the same Ubisense RTLS, providing a spectrum of deployment options through which the RTLS can be tailored to the requirements of each specific site and application. The functionality is available to both existing and new Ubisense customers as part of the latest revisions of the Ubisense location platform software.
