Founded in 2000, Ekahau is the recognized leader in location-enabling enterprise Wi-Fi networks. Ekahau’s mission is to provide the easiest, most cost effective and accurate positioning solutions for locating people, assets, inventory and other objects using wireless enterprise networks. The Ekahau solution tracks wireless laptops, PDAs, VOIP phones, Wi-Fi tags and other 802.11 enabled devices.
Ekahau is also the leading provider of Wi-Fi planning and site survey tools. Ekahau Site Survey (ESS) software is one of the most well-known independent tools for any standard Wi-Fi networks. The ESS product family provides also in important support to Ekahau RTLS offering. A well planned and optimized Wi-Fi network will guarantee the best possible results for all Wi-Fi applications, including data, voice, and location.
The Ekahau real time location system uses a statistical probability model that differs from pure triangulation in that it also factors in the environment (such as walls, doorways, etc.) when calculating the location of an object. The Ekahau software can determine the X, Y, Z coordinates, heading, and even speed. The average accuracy is up to 1-3 meters (approximately 3-10 feet). The quality of location data varies depending on how often the tag transmits, the number of WAPs as well as the environment. To simply know if a tag is in a given facility or roughly what area of a large facility a single WAP and a single transmission from the tag are enough.
In short Ekahau is the recognized leader in location-enabling enterprise Wi-Fi networks. Ekahau’s mission is to provide the easiest, most cost effective and accurate positioning solutions for locating people, assets, inventory and other objects using wireless enterprise networks. Ekahau’s solution tracks wireless laptops, PDAs, VOIP phones, Wi-Fi tags and other 802.11 enabled devices.Since year 2000, Ekahau has been the center of innovation for Wi-Fi based software and Real Time Location Systems – birthplace of the first commercially available Wi-Fi based location tracking system, the first visual Wi-Fi site survey tool, and the next-generation Wi-Fi tag family, T301.
