Sonitor Technologies' unique ultrasound real time location system (RTLS) automatically tracks the real-time location of moveable equipment or people in complex indoors environments with 100% room-level, or zone-level accuracy (such as bed-level) within a room.
The Sonitor® IPS uses Tags and Receivers. The Tag transmits a unique identification signal using ultrasound waves. Receivers that use Sonitor patented Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithms picks up the signal and transmits it via an existing LAN/Wi-Fi network to a central computer that stores the information about the Tag's room-location and the time of receipt of the signal.
Due to the unique attributes of ultrasound there is no risk of electromagnetic interference with or from other equipment. The low quantity of data transmitted from the Tags requires minimal LAN bandwidth so existing wired or wireless LAN can easily be leveraged. Existing PC’s can be leveraged as Tag signal Receivers eliminating the need for other RTLS hardware than Tags attached to the objects to be located or tracked. The Sonitor RTLS is fully, easily and quickly scalable. The small footprint Tags have optional communication buttons for custom configuration. Semi-disposable patient tags with a single patient use outer shell eliminate risks of cross contamination.
The Sonitor system uses Receivers and Tags that are linked to a digital file containing all vital statistics and information about the item or person being monitored. The Tag transmits a unique identification signal using ultrasound waves to detectors that use Sonitor patented Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithms, which transmit signals via an existing LAN to a central computer that stores the information about the Tag's room-location and the time of receipt of the signal.
The Sonitor IPS represents a robust, virtually fail-safe, yet simple tracking solution to your complex challenge.
