Next-generation asset tracking solutions VS expensive legacy systems

It is clear that, Next-generation asset tracking solutions based on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Ultra-wideband (UWB) will rapidly replace expensive legacy systems such as passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) while providing increased location granularity. “Although Bluetooth is quickly becoming the go-to standard for indoor asset tracking use cases, the choice of Real-Time Location System (RTLS) technology is dependent on many factors including the number of assets being tracked, the coverage area required, the level of accuracy required for each use case, and the overall cost of the solution including both infrastructure and implementation costs,” says Samuel McLaughlin, Research Analyst at ABI Research.
