CHAPTER 20
RTLS
20.1 Overview
Ekahau RTLS (Real Time Location Service) tracks battery-powered Wi-Fi tags attached to APs
managed by the ZyWALL/USG to create maps, alerts, and reports.
The Ekahau RTLS Controller is the centerpiece of the RTLS system. This server software runs on a
Windows computer to track and locate Ekahau tags from Wi-Fi signal strength measurements. Use
the ZyWALL/USG with the Ekahau RTLS system to take signal strength measurements at the APs
(Integrated Approach / Blink Mode).
The following example shows the Ekahau RTLS Integrated Approach (Blink Mode).
1 The Wi-Fi tag sends blink packets at specified intervals (or triggered by something like motion or
button presses).
2 The APs pick up the blink packets, measure the signal strength, and send it to the ZyWALL/USG.
3 The ZyWALL/USG forwards the signal measurements to the Ekahau RTLS Controller.
4 The Ekahau RTLS Controller calculates the tag positions.
