Wi-Fi Location & RTLS 2.0 — Precision Intelligence with Wi-Fi, BLE & UWB Fusion
The next evolution in real-time visibility
For years, Wi-Fi-based Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) have powered asset tracking, staff safety, and workflow automation across hospitals, factories, and logistics environments.
But the game has changed.
The next generation — RTLS 2.0 — fuses Wi-Fi 6/7 Fine Timing Measurement (FTM) with BLE 5.3 and Ultra-Wideband (UWB), delivering sub-meter accuracy and intelligent context awareness across the enterprise.
From “connected” to “context-aware”
Traditional Wi-Fi RTLS relied on RSSI (signal strength) triangulation — a good start, but sensitive to interference and environmental noise.
RTLS 2.0 takes a quantum leap forward:
- Wi-Fi FTM (802.11mc) → Time-of-flight ranging with ±1m accuracy
- BLE 5.3 AoA/AoD → Directional angle detection for asset and staff tags
- UWB Fusion → Centimeter-level precision in critical areas (OR, warehouses, safety zones)
- Edge Intelligence → Real-time decision-making at the access point
- Cloud Analytics → AI-driven insights, heatmaps, and automated alerts
Together, they create a hybrid location fabric that understands movement, presence, and proximity — in real time.

Why it matters
Location data is no longer just about “where.”
It’s about context, automation, and safety.
RTLS 2.0 turns your wireless network into a real-time digital nervous system — where every movement can trigger action, insight, or protection.
