Looking at existing networks, and how Liveport can improve them with Professional Surveying and Design
AGED CARE – REAL TIME LOCATION SERVICES
(RTLS)
In this example we look at an Aged Care facility that was looking to implement a Real-Time Location Service (RTLS).
With the wireless network originally being designed for basic connectivity, the network was not capable of meeting the vendor
requirements for RTLS. Based on the RTLS manufacturers specifications, the devices need to see at least 3 access points
at any location, including corners, with a high signal strength.
Upon conducting a Site Survey, we see that there is not nearly enough coverage
for the RTLS and the network will need to be designed specifically for the new equipment.
BEFORE
Little to No coverage for RTLS
– RTLS needs to see 3 access points at a location
– No analytics of patient movements
– No capabilities for Voice Over Wi-Fi (VoWi-Fi)
and Nurse Call Systems
AFTER
Providing reliable connectivity for accurate location tracking Plus providing;
– Asset management
– Automate temperature monitoring
– Patient safety monitoring
– Optimise patient flow
– Exceed requirements for Voice Over Wi-Fi (VoWi-Fi)
and Nurse Call Systems
