inTechnology and GAB sign exclusive global distribution agreement
Leading australian value added distributor inTechnology and GAB partner to deliver Ekahau RTLS client apps for the Android, iOS, and Windows Mobile devices.
The Ekahau RTLS agent developed by GAB, works as a client for Ekahau’s Real-Time Location System (RTLS) and implements the primary functionality as well as the duress alarm features of the Ekahau T301-BD Wi-Fi tag. The GAB developed agent also supports RTLS messaging and instant notifications to and from iPhone, Android and Windows CE devices. The software installs onto the mobile device and sends signal strength measurements in the background to the Ekahau RTLS Controller (ERC) for real time personnel and asset tracking.
“The requirement for Real Time Location Tracking (RTLS) is starting to explode across all industry segments and this development and distribution agreement creates significant opportunities for inTechnology and Ekahau partners across the globe, said Mark Winter, Managing Director at inTechnology Distribution.
“We have seen a increase in the type of user deploying Ekahau’s Wi-Fi based RTLS over the last 12 months, including schools deploying RTLS for personal duress alarms for their teachers and asset tracking; Retail to track their staff and mobile barcode scanners; Hotels to track their housekeepers and porters; through to hospitals and age care facilities tracking medical equipment, patients and for personal duress alarms for their staff,” Mark said.
