Midmark RTLS, a provider of real-time locating system (RTLS) technology, introduces its Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) sensory network, which it describes as a scalable, easy-to-deploy solution that helps health systems rapidly achieve near-room location precision for staff, patients, and equipment. As per Midmark, this approach delivers both facility-wide coverage and a future-ready foundation that can scale with operational and clinical needs.
With a hybrid approach, Midmark RTLS brings together the best of both worlds and is built to meet health systems where they are. Begin with BLE, then layer on precision with Wireless IR for room-certain accuracy—when and where it’s needed. Or, leverage existing Midmark RTLS infrared infrastructure and layer on BLE for facility-wide RTLS solutions.
Reducing complexity and accelerating results, the network enables real-time locating services through easily-installable plug-In BLE sensors. It enables the deployment of RTLS quickly without infrastructure investments while maintaining the flexibility to expand coverage and location capabilities.
According to the company, benefits of Midmark BLE include:
- Fast, cost-effective deployment with Plug-In BLE Sensors that support facility-wide RTLS coverage with minimal disruption.
- Near-room location precision for staff, patients, and equipment with a 3m to 5m distance accuracy.
- Faster time to value through lower costs and rapid implementation.
- Scalable by design to start with critical use cases like asset tracking and/or staff duress and expand as operational needs evolve.
The Midmark RTLS BLE Sensory Network is commercially now. For greater gleanings and insights into BLE and BLE/IR hybrid locating, visit the Midmark RTLS website.
