Applications
PinPoint location technology represents an optimal platform for a many applications. Its accuracy computational simplicity, and minima hardware tolerances make it the developers first choice for location based applications where scalability, low cost of goods and rapid time to market represent driving factors.
Applications include security, public safety e-commerce, Home Land Security, law enforcement and personal applications. We will give a few examples of PinPoint applications discussed in the following sections describe its underlying principles of operation.
A PinPoint systems are highly distributed. There is no need for preexisting transmitter sites. It is only required that the location of three nodes (tags) are known to provide location. Adding a fourth known tag provides for the determination on elevation if required.
Personnel and Property
The accurate tracking of personnel and property are key requirements in addressing many large markets. Pinpoint is well suited as the platform for creating property tags that utilize low power and nd require low cost of goods. these tags can be fixed to inventory or embedded in worn tags including id badges, pass cards and secured devices.
PinPoint location tags can be constructed with the ability to identify their own position and use it locally to provide location information or to facilitate actions based on geo-data applications or they can have minima intelligence and simply provide their locations to a central facility where their positions are derived, tracked and acted upon.
Because of PinPoint's accuracy the location of critical personal and resources can be monitored and managed in way that have not previosly been feasible without tremendous cost.
Here ais an application:
Medical Facilities
Pinpoint badges can be used to provide locations acrossfloors, buildings and grounds of all personal and provide accountability as well as critical management.
Patients locationcan be instantly ascertained, visitors can be monitored and restricted to areas with security alerts instantly generated if required.
Complete accountability of interaction of personal and patients can be recorded as part of histories and for the assessment of treatment efficiency.
All portable and fixed medical devices and other assets can be tagged and tracked in real time.
PinPoint provides the unique enabling technology that can seamlessly provide real time location information from fixed and moving sources across floors, building andad facilitates and provide the location data to drive integrated mission critical security, management and data capture applications that when combined can representa new paradigm in medical institution solutions.
