RTLS failures are rarely caused by positioning accuracy alone. In real deployments, power supply, data backhaul, and failure isolation determine whether a system runs for years or becomes unmaintainable.<br /> <br /> Wired PoE architectures offer the highest stability, 4G architectures trade wiring for operational cost, gateway-based architectures solve “no public network” constraints, and hybrid architectures exist to balance indoor precision with outdoor coverage. The right choice depends on site constraints, maintenance model, and acceptable failure modes—not on radio technology alone.

RTLS (Real-Time Location System) should be defined by the operational outcomes you need—not by the sensor technology.<br /> In industrial sites, the real value is converting location into rule-based events (e.g., unauthorized entry, dwell time, near-miss risk)<br /> and then linking those events to alarms, video, and reporting.<br /> <br /> A practical RTLS design starts by choosing the output level you truly need (presence / 1D / 2D/3D), then selecting the right architecture<br /> (wired UWB, UWB over cellular, wiring-free UWB, or hybrid UWB + GNSS/BeiDou RTK) to match constraints such as wiring, public-network access,<br /> hazardous areas, and indoor–outdoor continuity.
