Proximity
Proximity Awareness and Analytics alarms provide a number of key functions, including
Presence Services, Wi-Fi Analytics, Locationing (RTLS) Services, and Historic
Location Analysis. Proximity Alarms are broken down into the following
sub-types:
- Location Subscribers - Web servers can be registered as Location Subscribers on an
ADSP appliance. ADSP will then proactively push Proximity data to these
subscriber servers as it becomes available. Alarms in this category describe
communication failures with those subscriber servers.
- Presence - The Presence function supports identification of Wi-Fi devices using the
sensors in the target environment. Presence allows the system user to prepare
for arrival of the subject device in the target environment. Detection of
devices is automatic and alerts the system that a device has been detected on
site or in the facility. The presence function also supports the push of
information using the API to external systems and applications which may use the
information to trigger additional actions. Presence is engineered for quick
setup and does not require any information regarding the physical environment of
the store or facility.
- Region Events - The Locationing function supports real-time tracking of Wi-Fi
targets based on the Real-Time Locating System standard (RTLS). This capability
allows solution operator to resolve the position of a target device to within a
radius of three meters. The system will also track the target and, with
additional information such as the physical layout of a facility, will enable
the operator to support enhanced engagement based on defined boundaries, device
profiles and behaviors. Real-life applications of the capability include:
Geofencing, Prioritized Device Tracking, and Wi-Fi Device Inventory.
