PBS installation guide Introduction The PBS is a component of the Precyse iLocate™ real time location system. The PBS allows for 2-way RF communication with the Smart Agent tags, supporting multi-frequency mode for unexpected RF interference protection. The PBS base station is a low cost, low maintenance stand-alone device. This unit communicates with the central iLocate™ server over existing Ethernet or Wi-Fi networks.
