RTLS anchors are readers that deploy in fixed positions to detect and locate signals from transmitting RTLS tags and devices. To accurately determine a tag’s real-time location, each anchor within its communication range will read and often timestamp the received signals, and then exchange this information with the location engine to calculate the tag’s position.
In addition to being able to receive communication, certain RTLS anchors can also transmit data to other devices, enabling you to do things like wireless configuration, firmware flashing, and sending data to a tag to manipulate actuators like LEDs or even machines, allowing for more versatile applications.
