2. Description
The SiteWERX Location system consists of System Management software residing
on a networked PC, a SiteWERX Base Station (SBS), and one or more SiteWERX
Location Nodes (SLN’s).
The SBS and SLN’s form a communication chain (scatter-net) using Bluetooth radios.
The SBS uses Ethernet or 802.11 Wi-Fi to maintain a communication link with a local
area network, allowing the system to be managed by a PC with access to this LAN.
Mobile devices, such as cell phones and PDAs, running the SiteWERX Mobile Client
(SMC) software are able to communicate with an SLN to receive location and real-
time messages, reference Figure 1.
