WHY IT’S DIFFERENT
Timing beats signal strength.
Wi-Fi and BLE
Estimate location from signal strength, which shifts with walls, people and equipment, so readings drift between rooms.
Guesswork
Mixed technologies
Infrared, RFID and BLE are often layered for different jobs, each with its own hardware to buy and maintain.
Patchwork
Ultra-Wideband
Measures time of flight with nanosecond precision, so location stays accurate in busy, obstacle-filled clinical spaces.
Precision
Legacy systems trade accuracy for coverage and add a new technology for every job. IntraPosition uses one, Ultra-Wideband, for everything.
HOW IT WORKS
Time of flight, explained.
UWB times how long each radio pulse takes to reach nearby anchors. Since radio travels at light speed, timing becomes distance.
01
Tags send a pulse
Wearable and asset tags send short, low-power UWB radio pulses that stay reliable in busy clinical spaces.
02
Anchors time it
Compact ceiling anchors timestamp each pulse with nanosecond precision, kept in step by wireless time sync.
03
The engine solves it
Our cloud location engine turns time of flight into distance and works out each tag’s position in real time.
04
Teams see it live
Location appears on live maps, alerts and dashboards on any desktop, tablet or phone, with role-based access.
INSIDE THE PLATFORM
Tags, anchors and a cloud engine.
Up to 1 ft accuracy
Choose the resolution each use case needs, from room-level separation to 30 cm precision.
Patient and staff tags
Light wearable tags on a lanyard, clip or wristband, with a built-in call and duress button.
Asset tags
Rugged tags fit discreetly on any device, with a 5-year battery and zero maintenance.
Ultra-Wideband (UWB) locates tags by precise signal timing, not signal strength, so readings stay accurate in busy, obstacle-filled buildings. Our cloud location engine turns those signals into live insight.
Ceiling anchors
Compact, low-voltage anchors receive tag signals over UWB and connect over Wi-Fi.
Cloud location engine
Wireless time sync and smart software handle complex layouts full of walls, doors and equipment.
Floor-aware tracking
Barometric sensors in asset tags help place every device on the right floor.
ONE TECHNOLOGY
Every location need, covered.
The same tags and anchors power every solution, so you can add new use cases without adding a new system. Leading hospitals already run on it.
01
Equipment
Find infusion pumps, wheelchairs and devices to the room, and see where equipment sits idle.
02
Patients
Follow each patient’s journey from arrival to discharge, and spot delays as they happen.
03
Staff
Wearable tags with a duress button alert security to the exact room the moment it is pressed.
04
Newborns and exits
Infant security and protected exit zones run on the same anchors as everything else.
THE RESULT
Less hardware. More insight.
Because UWB is precise, anchors can sit further apart, mostly along corridors. You get better accuracy from a lighter installation that grows with you.
01
Lighter installation
Anchors are spaced out along corridors, so wards stay open while we deploy.
30%+
Less infrastructure than legacy systems*
*Compared with legacy RTLS deployments. Results vary by hospital layout.
02
Room-level precision
UWB timing keeps location accurate from room-level separation up to 1 ft (30 cm).
1 ft
Location accuracy (30 cm)
03
Long-life tags
Rugged asset tags fit discreetly on any device and run with zero maintenance.

04
Grow as you go
Add new solutions on the same tags and anchors as your needs change.

FAQ
Technology FAQs
Can’t see your question here? Our team will happily walk you through it.
01
What is UWB RTLS?
A Real-Time Location System built on Ultra-Wideband radio. Tags send short UWB pulses to ceiling anchors, and a cloud location engine works out each tag’s position in real time.
02
How accurate is IntraPosition?
Accuracy is set per use case, from room-level separation up to 1 ft (30 cm) precision.
03
How is UWB different from Wi-Fi or BLE?
Wi-Fi and BLE estimate location from signal strength, which shifts with walls, people and equipment. UWB uses precise signal timing, so it stays accurate in busy clinical spaces.
04
How much infrastructure is needed?
Far less than legacy systems. Anchors are spaced out, mostly along corridors, for at least 30% less infrastructure.
05
What is time of flight?
The time a radio pulse takes to travel from a tag to an anchor. UWB measures it with nanosecond precision, and because radio travels at a known speed, timing converts directly into distance.
06
Does it integrate with our EHR?
Yes. An open REST API connects IntraPosition to your EHR, maintenance management system (CMMS) and other hospital software.
07
Can we start small?
Yes. Start with one solution and add others on the same tags and anchors whenever you are ready.
ONE PLATFORM
One platform.
Every solution.
Every IntraPosition solution runs on the same platform, so you can start with one and add more as your hospital grows.
01
More digital solutions
Paperless, connected tools for crash carts, supply rooms, the emergency department and infection control.
02
RTLS solutions
Our next-generation Real-Time Location System delivers high-accuracy, room-level positioning.
