Scalable BLE Location Technology
The industry's most scalable location technology for healthcare
For a range of locating needs, from zonal-level visibility and BLE to clinical-grade room- and bay-level accuracy, CenTrak offers a flexible infrastructure that supports multiple technologies. Patented Second Generation Infrared (Gen2IR) enables highly accurate locating without line-of-sight limitations, using Monitors and Virtual Walls to transmit unique location IDs received by staff or patient badges. These badges then communicate the data via radio frequency to the Location Engine, enabling real-time streaming to end-user applications or third-party systems. BLE is also supported, providing a scalable, cost effective solution for use cases like staff duress and asset tracking. Additionally, Low-Frequency devices are installed where needed to enable egress detection and enhance security.
