Real-Time Location Tracking (RTLS) Features - Ekahau Wi-Fi Design...

http://docs.ekahau.com/index.php/Real-Time_Location_Tracking_(RT...

From Ekahau Wi-Fi Design documentation

Assets and people can be accurately tracked using a standard Wi-Fi network to
improve safety and to locate assets quickly when necessary. Ekahau Site Survey
fully integrates with Ekahau Real-Time Location System. This allows you to use
your existing site survey data to be used for calibrating the location system. To
enable the location tracking features, check the Enable RTLS Features checkbox
under File > Preferences. After re-starting the software, go to the Help menu, and
open the Ekahau Site Survey Guide for Deploying RTLS for more information about
the RTLS Features.
If real-time location tracking (RTLS) is of interest, visit http://www.ekahau.com to
read more about Ekahau RTLS, the industry-leading real-time location tracking
system.

NOTE

If you have the RTLS Features enabled, but you do not use ESS to
deploy Ekahau RTLS, you may receive a warning about undefined
Rails and Open Spaces when saving a survey project. You can simply
ignore this warning and choose Continue to save the survey project.
However, if you want to avoid this warning in the future, uncheck the
Enable RTLS Features checkbox under File > Preferences and re-start
the software.
