Ultrasound RTLS Systems

Ultrasound technology employs sound waves to determine the location of a tag. What sets sound apart is its ability to pass through objects that might block other types of signals.

How Ultrasound RTLS Systems Work

Ultrasound systems operate by using sound waves to calculate the duration a signal takes to move from the tag to the receiver. Their reliance on sound, as opposed to light or radio waves, provides distinct benefits in terms of precision and immunity to electronic disturbances, yet they also face specific limitations related to their operating environment.
