High Definition Ultrasound Indoor Positioning Systems™
Ultrasound signals fill a room and bounce off the walls, ceilings and floors, providing a nearly fail-proof position accuracy with room-level resolution
Radio frequency signals (RF) travel through walls, ceilings and floors resulting in high risk of room-level location resolution inaccuracy (possible 10-15 foot discrepancy).
Also, interference from metallic objects and other electronic equipment can result in inaccurate position readings.
Sonitor Ultrasound advantage:Using proprietary airborne ultrasound and DSP technology, the Sonitor IPS provides virtually 100% room-level location accuracy:

RadiantWave will install Sonitor’s IPS hardware, and RedPrairie Mobile Resource™Solution in the first of their eight hospitals. Detectors will be installed in the entire hospital, and they will start by deploying 3,100 equipment tags; increasing over time to an estimated 10,000 tags. Seton forecasts the start of patient tracking in early 2007
