20 percent of Sonitor® IPS deployments replace existing RF-based tracking technologies

Sonitor Technologies' growing presence in the U.S. healthcare market has been the key driver in the surge in deployments of its RTLS infrastructure implementations and IPS unit shipments.

2007 proved to be a breakthrough year for Sonitor Technologies, as the healthcare market increasingly recognized the value of, and need for, reliable location accuracy in complex, high-value, indoor environments such as hospitals. Sonitor has established a niche for its unique ultrasound based real-time location system technology in healthcare and other select target market segments. According to recent industry estimates, the active RTLS market across all market segments is expected to exceed US $7 billion by 2017. Within this projected growth trend, Sonitor has recently deployed its proprietary IPS system to over a dozen well-known hospitals in the United States, reinforcing its market position in the high growth market vertical.


Approximately 20 percent of Sonitor Technologies’ RTLS deployments replaced existing RF-based tracking technologies and systems, which failed to deliver the desired location accuracy performance that the hospitals expected.
