What is Location Awareness Services for WebSphere Premises Server? Location Awareness Services for WebSphere Premises Server allows
companies to continuously track active tags in real time in predefined
areas of refineries, plants, and office buildings. Third-party asset
location systems provide the tags, which may be carried by employees
or visitors, or fixed to assets. Third-party systems also include
reader infrastructure and a location engine, which is software that
calculates tag positions based on the tag signals received by different
readers. The Location Awareness Services for WebSphere Premises Server solution
works with these systems to visualize locations that are being monitored
and to display the current position of personnel or assets carrying
the tags.
