Hardware Guide

Calculated positions are being written on the Location Provider System database. These positions
can also be used in real time by remoting technology. This architecture provides flexiblity in
integration with third party softwares. Wipelot H-RTLS application comprises an independent service
which listens the Location Provider System database. It interpretes fetched information and applies
some business rules on it prior to UI interaction.
Tags comprise a conductive security element attachment having two ends, whose electrical state will
change when stretched, severed, or removed by parting the end. When the electrical state changes
an alarm code will be generated and sent to receivers. This information will then be processed as
explained above.
Built in motion sensor is able to detect unnatural movements like falling, being idle for a certain period
of time etc. Alarm will be generated as soon as this kind of movement is detected.
1.3. RF affecting factors
All devices's RF signals can affect some material some extent. If our devices's RF signal encounter
some material especially high-level obstacle severity material as stated in Table 1. Router, Reader
and Tags will be decreased range of distance. For this reason, all device have to position as far as
possible from especially obstruction of high level obstacle severity material as in Table 1.
