Points to know when installing RTLS. (Provisioning videos)
- Place the BluFis in such a way as to ensure there is minimal obstructed view. Our recommendation is to place the BluFis at four feet or higher, above the floor.
- Ensure there is no metal directly in-front of the BluFi – Tables, chairs, cabinets, etc, that are within six feet or less from the BluFi is not recommended.
- For good trilateration, the beacon should be 'seen by' a minimum of six BluFis. Meaning there are six BluFis within a 20~25 meter radius of where you are tracking.
- IMPORTANT: Make sure BluFis are on 'Multi-Channel' mode, and every beacon is using 'Asset Tracking' template.
- Note: Some oscillation of beacon position is normal for RTLS. To improve oscillation in RTLS, see point 'f' below.
- Beacon position oscillation can be reduced by selecting the settings tab and changing the 'Bucket', 'Overlap' & 'Period' each to 3000 ms or more. This will add latency of approximately 5 seconds or more to the results, but it will smooth the oscillation of the location. Increasing it to 4000 or 5000 ms will stabilize the oscillation even further.
