Link Labs
• IOT Technology Company
• Focus on customer ROI through Power and Data Efficiency
• Efficient data transmission – IOT information via LTE-M ~100x more
expensive per MB than traditional cellular.
• Longer device battery life – Batteries and their replacement cycle are often
#1 HW/maintenance cost driver.
• Architecturally flexible, scalable, and extensible – LPWAN (LoRa), LTE-M,
BLE, Wifi, NB-IOT, etc.

Architecture Drives System Performance
When compared to tags that beacon and no reference points:
• Lower cost: 10-100x less data flowing through backhaul (critical if LTE-M)
• Higher accuracy: location accuracy derived by density of low-cost reference points, vs. density of higher-cost access points
• Better latency: < 5 seconds vs. ~2 minutes
• Greater scalability: high density of tags possible—tags acknowledged and then quiet
• Easier to deploy: tags, reference points, and access points all battery powered

Use Case #3: Industrial Tool Carts (Asset Grouping);
Equipment Monitoring
• Group of tools and calibration
equipment need to be kept on same cart
• Cart reference beacon used to determine
if tools on/off the cart
• Cart itself also tagged and tracked
• Equipment is also monitored via BLE
equipped sensors; backhauled using
same Access Point infrastructure
