Description
Purelink’s PLK-TR015-10 Wireless Location Receiver has a receptive field of over 40 000 m2 and
delivers real-time location for more than 10 000 personnel badges, asset tags and sensors per
second, with an accuracy of 1 to 3 meters. With a high processing capacity, it offers accurate, true
real-time tracking, even in the most challenging environments. Purelink’s PLK-TR015-10 processes
thousands of nanoEdgeTM badge, tag and sensor communications every second on two independent
tracking antennas at 5.8 GHz. Each of these two antennas can be oriented in different directions to
optimize the power level of received signals or to cover a wider area of the enterprise.
The PLK-TR015-10 supports three location modes in BluefairyTM Computing Engine: high-accuracy
location mode, visibility mode and checkpoint mode. Purelink’s PLK-TR015-10 is the only infrastructure
equipment required to install in an enterprise in order to run location-aware people and asset tracking
applications. Increasing coverage is as simple as adding more location or visibility receivers.
