Real Time Location System (RTLS)
The Basics of Full X,Y Location 1. RTLS GPS Tag transmits its ID
and x,y location
2. The LS (Location Sensor)
timestamps the ID/location and
sends it to the server over Ethernet
3. The Visibility Server hear’s the
tag’s location based on the
Tag
coordinates sent from the GPS Tag
4. Visibility Server updates the tag’s
location and status in database

The Basics of Full X,Y Location 1. RTLS Active Tag transmits its ID
2. Each LS (Location Sensor)
timestamps the ID and sends it to
the server over Ethernet

3. The Visibility Server computes
the tag’s location based on the
difference between arrival time at
each LS

RTLS Active Tag transmits its ID
WherePort forces the tag to blink
using a low magnetic field and
attaches a unique WherePort ID
