How it Works
The Talking Lights Indoor Locator uses a self-configuring ZigBee-capable mesh locating network to track through mobile wireless
information transfer, furnishing location information with accuracy to +3 feet and zeroing in on people or equipment on corridors,
individual rooms and parts of rooms. Proprietary hardware and software maintains mesh network connectivity, keeps the network operating, ensures that data reaches its destination, and enable reliable, robust and consistent two-way information transfer without continuous tuning or
interference with existing IT networks.
The system is optically-based, using existing building lights as optical location beacons that are sensed by optical receivers in
equipment tags and personnel badges, so there’s no need for dedicated IR or RF systems. It can also be linked with RF and
wireless systems to add location capabilities to current building networks.
The locator is easy to install, requiring only a simple change of light ballasts on already-installed fixtures.
