Session Abstract:
Ranging has long been the gold standard for precision location systems, powering technologies such as GPS and Ultrawideband (UWB)—but at a cost: these systems are often too expensive for tracking most items and have onerous power requirements or finicky install procedures. This summer, Link Labs launched its next generation Real-time Location System (RTLS) that dramatically improves accuracy and affordability. With seven patented or patent-pending Link Labs technologies, it features accuracy everywhere at the sub-meter level, improved battery life at the tag level, reduced latency and reduced cost.
Bob is the founder and CEO of Link Labs, a leading innovator in low-power, wide-area network technologies and end-to-end IoT asset tracking solutions. With a PhD in applied physics and 25 years of engineering leadership, Proctor led the R&D for AirFinder, Link Labs’ flagship Real-time Location System (RTLS).
Bob is a skilled, experienced public speaker who can present highly technical and complex concepts in easy-to-understand terms and share real-world examples of applications that illustrate the value and benefits of advanced embedded technologies. He also has a unique POV on a wide range of emerging technologies and their market viability as co-founder and board director of Blu Venture Investors, a venture capital investment company that supports early-stage entrepreneurs in the mid-Atlantic region of the U.S.
Attendees will come away from this session with:
– A thorough understanding of the challenges of ranging as it pertains to asset tracking and why it has been so
difficult to find not only affordable, but also scalable solutions.
– In depth-information on how wireless technologies can aid in asset management and tracking across a variety of
industries.
– Knowledge on the technological breakthroughs, which include seven new patented technologies, of the newly-
launched AirFinder On-site tracking system, including accuracy everywhere at the sub-meter level, improved battery
life at the tag level, reduced latency and reduced cost of infrastructure/enhanced ease of installation.
