Real Time Locating Systems (RTLS ) involve small tags that can signal their location at all times without the need for a nearby RFID reader. This technology is workable and affordable to meet a variety of urgent needs such as tracking of personnel in potentially dangerous facilities, locating hospital staff in an emergency, or even tracking children on the way home from school or when a building is evacuated.

These, and more, will be discussed thoroughly at the upcoming Active RFID & RTLS Summit, to be held on December 5-6 in Dallas, USA. One of the leading suppliers and users of RTLS, Q Track, will be presenting at the conference and exhibition.

This addition completes the set, with all the other types represented by best-in-class companies such as IDENTEC Solutions and RFTRAQ using UHF and G2 Microsystems using microwave frequency. There are more. Remarkable new advances and installations will also be described for Ubiquitous Sensor Networks (USN) - another very hot topic. Speakers will fly in from Korea, the UK, Australia and many other countries, to give an unusually comprehensive understanding of what is possible, what is needed and what comes next. Learn why active RFID is frequently more useful and more lucrative than passive RFID and understand why it will rise rapidly to 27% of the RFID market by value in ten years. Who will be the winners and losers? masterclasses, visits to local centers of excellence, free educational material will be available, giving a truly professional examination of what is really going on. This exciting event is located where the densest grouping of active RFID and allied companies operates in the US.
