Introduction System overview The WhereNet Real Time Locating System (RTLS) is designed to permit users to determine the position of tagged assets in both indoor and outdoor facilities such as factories and freight yards. The system locates tagged assets by a process involving redundant triangulation. Each tag autonomously emits a 2.4 GHz direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) radio signal at predetermined blink rate.
WhereNet Location Processor The WhereNet Location Processor is a processing unit that receives WhereTag II device signals through a set of WhereNet Location Antenna and calculates location information using sophisticated digital signal processing. The Location Processor is able to track a large number of WhereTag II devices simultaneously to assure location accuracy over a large coverage area.
Figure 1.
Tag Installation and Activation Tags are shipped with all radio emitters deactivated. Prior to installing a tag on an item to be tracked, the tag must be activated. This is done using the WhereNet’s WhereWand. The WhereWand is used to configure and activate the tag, and to confirm that the tag is properly configured and operational. The detailed procedure for tag activation is covered in WhereWand User’s Manual.
