WideArea_Tracking™: outdoor

Satellite location, linked over LoRa

People tracking is particularly relevant in large outdoor environments. Lone workers feel more confident knowing that you have their back at all times. HSSE managers now have a real time big picture of what's going on in terms of safety from their laptops or mobile phones. Managers can make sure contractors and auxiliary staff completed the tasks according to plan and schedule.
Technology
WideArea_Tracking™ provides enhanced satellite positioning over a private LoRa network or public Cellular network. Each tag device leverages multiple GNSS constellations (GPS/Galileo/Glonass/BeiDou) and Tracktio’s embedded algorithms to improve standard accuracy and battery lifespanTags send their position and status to LoRa-compatible station/s TrackSphere™, which runs proprietary software for enhanced accuracy, turn this into analytic data and operational events.
WideArea_Tracking™: indoor

BLE location, linked over LoRa

Danger zones or risky tasks are now monitored even in total absence of RF or cellular coverage. Access control becomes an automated task, relevant for productivity but most important for safety measures like fire drills, mustering points and evacuation.
Technology
GPS has a poor performance in an indoor environment. Therefore, WideArea_Tracking™ complements it with BLE: WideArea_Tracking™ tags respond to both GPS and BLE. Put BLE beacons in strategic locations like entrance, exit, staircase and muster point, so that they can detect the presence of tags within their range. Tags would respond to the nearest BLE beacon. The data is sent over LoRa or cellular network to TrackSphere™.
