Sensor
WhereLAN III is the locating and messaging hub of
Zebra’s Real Time Locating Systems (RTLS) offering
based on the ISO/IEC 24730-2 standard. This state-
of-the art sensor receives low power signals emitted
by Zebra’s active RFID tags, known as WhereTags,
up to a distance of 1,750 m. Employing advanced
signal processing techniques, WhereLAN III
determines the time-of-arrival of a WhereTag signal
to sub-nanosecond resolution, resulting in up to one
meter location accuracy. This means you can gain
visibility of your tagged assets and tightly couple
their real-time location into your business operations.
WhereLAN III can also be used to process event
messages from WhereCall button tags. These tags
are used in Industrial Manufacturing to convey parts
replenishment requests or task completion events.
Due to the Six-Sigma reliability of the WhereTag
signal, you can rest assured that the WhereCall
event will be detected. WhereLAN III delivers the
WhereTag and WhereCall data to Zebra’s Visibility
Server Software (VSS) stack, which computes the
location of tagged assets and delivers actionable and
timely visibility information. VSS also provides tools
for integrating RTLS data with customer and third
party applications. VSS and a network of WhereLAN
IIIs provide accurate and timely asset visibility across
your enterprise.
WhereLAN III features an IP 55 cast-aluminum
enclosure, which allows the product to be deployed
in indoor and outdoor environments, such as
warehouses, heavy-industrial manufacturing plants,
vehicle and trailer yards, and Maritime shipyards.
The product features novel signal processing
techniques that provide full locate without the need
for dedicated time synchronization wiring. WhereLAN
III can automatically configure and dynamically
adjust to changing Radio Frequency environments
while maintaining wireless time synchronization. Its
configuration does not require complex RF spectrum
surveys nor periodic calibration. These advanced
features simplify the design and installation of the
infrastructure, allowing you to focus on running your
business instead of running an RTLS network.
WhereLAN III supports IEEE 802.3af Power-over-Eth-
ernet (PoE). It may be ordered with integral Wi-Fi
client capability supporting the transport of the
received WhereTag and standard management data
across any industry standard 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi
network. The product consumes just 12 Watts,
enabling a small and economical solar-powered
option for remote deployments.
When robust and accurate asset visibility is vital to
your business, WhereLAN III is your product of
choice and Zebra your global partner.
