This chapter explains the most common types of location tracking and how the type of tracking dictates:
• the size and number of Locales that can be created
• the number and configuration of Location APs that can be deployed
• the number of RF Fingerprints required
For best results, these deployment details can be determined by a site survey conducted by Nortel.
Deployment types
The most common types of location tracking are:
• Asset Tracking
• Content Delivery
• Access Control
A deployment may use different types of tracking based on the unique requirements of the deployment or the applications
used.
Asset Tracking
An asset tracking deployment is generally concerned with tracking asset tags, devices that beacon on multiple channels
and are inside the physical perimeter of a building. For instance, to find if people with Wi-Fi badges (a type of Asset Tag)
are inside the building at the proper times (or have evacuated a hazardous area).
