Abstract:
In this IoT MasterClass, experts at Link Labs, Bob Proctor, CEO, and Mark Bloechl, Chief Engineer, will cover the various types of localization techniques and implementation types. Localization within asset tracking and monitoring refers to the method of signal transmission to determine an asset’s location. Various methods have both pros and cons – and selecting the appropriate method can address specific organizational needs. Here’s what the session will cover:
- Localization Techniques
- Signal Strength
- Angle of Arrival
- Ranging/TDoA
- Ranging/TDoAStandards/Products
- BLE Proximity (maybe include RSSI trilateration)
- RSSI Fingerprinting
- BLE AoA
- UWB
- AirFinder XLE
- GPS
