Using wireless access points (APs) from all of the leading WLAN vendors (Cisco, Aruba, Motorola, Trapeze, 3Com, Nortel, Meru, Aerohive, Extricom, Belden, Enterasys and others), customers can now locate and track items with AeroScout tags and software, without adding additional network hardware. This joint solution enables low-cost, highly reliable location-based applications.

Wi-Fi RFID offers the ability to locate valuable assets and people without the need for an intrusive separate network, and use this location data to improve business processes. Hospitals, manufacturers and other enterprises can now use a single, unified wireless network for data, voice and visibility services.

How it Works

AeroScout's Wi-Fi RFID tags and software are fully integrated with the standard wireless networking equipment from multiple leading vendors. Through these partnerships, the vendors' APs can now act like RFID readers, picking up transmissions from AeroScout tags and other Wi-Fi devices, without interrupting their normal operations.

Location is determined by either the AeroScout Engine or the networking vendor's location appliance, and AeroScout MobileView provides the enterprise software layer to deliver business value from Wi-Fi RFID asset location and status. The end result is that users benefit from a high return on investment, as well as a system flexible enough for numerous environments and multiple visibility applications.
