ExtremeLocation Essentials now enables you to track your assets throughout your site. For ExtremeLocation Essentials, an asset is a physical device or item that your company wishes to track. It could be some device that is critical in nature and the absence of knowledge about its whereabouts has the potential to cause financial damage. Or, it could be a device that is mobile and expensive to re-stock if lost.
ExtremeLocation Essentials enables you to track such critical or costly assets within your sites using BLE beacons or by using the device's inbuilt Wi-Fi radio. The Asset Tracking and Management feature enables you to locate a tracked asset within your site. This feature also has an ability to raise alarms if your tracked asset moves out of its designated area or enters an area where it is prohibited to enter. It can also raise an alarm if the asset that you track is not seen within your site for a configured period of time.
You can choose to use an external BLE beacon to track an asset. When using a BLE beacon, you must onboard the beacon, classify it as an asset, and then physically attach it to the asset.
If the asset that you are tracking has a built-in Wi-Fi radio, you can configure ExtremeLocation Essentials to track the asset by the MAC address of the built-in radio.
