Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Tracking Systems | Indoor asset tracking (warehouses), personal items (keys), high-security zones | Sub-5cm accuracy (▲ Advanced improves to 3cm, IEEE 802.15.4a compliant) | Highest precision for short-range tracking; secure data transmission (FCC certified) | Higher cost; limited to line-of-sight; requires UWB-enabled devices for pairing |
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Trackers | Personal items (wallets, pets), proximity alerts in public spaces | 100m range (Bluetooth 5.0), 1-2 year battery life (IPX7 waterproof) | Low cost, long battery life, smartphone compatibility | Lower accuracy (1-3m); interference in crowded areas; no real-time location updates |
GPS Tracking Devices | Vehicle tracking, outdoor asset monitoring, hiking | Global coverage (GPS/GNSS), 5-10m accuracy (requires open sky) | Wide outdoor coverage; integrates with mapping apps | High power consumption; ineffective indoors; delayed updates in dense urban areas |
RFID Tracking Systems | Inventory management, access control, logistics | Passive tags (no battery), 1-10m read range (ISO 18000-6C compliant) | Low cost per tag; bulk scanning capability | No real-time location; requires fixed readers; no data transmission beyond read range |
Wi-Fi-Based Trackers | Indoor navigation (offices, malls), smart homes | 30-50m range (802.11ac), 1-3m accuracy (requires Wi-Fi infrastructure) | Integrates with existing networks; supports mesh networking | Dependent on Wi-Fi coverage; potential security risks; limited scalability |
Infrared Trackers | Robotics, short-range detection (factories) | Line-of-sight only (up to 10m), fast response time (no interference) | Low latency; simple setup; no electromagnetic interference | Limited range; requires clear line of sight; ineffective in dusty or foggy environments |
