A Location Aware Radiation Monitoring System OAK RIDGE, Tenn., November 21, 2008 Today, Q-Track demonstrated “A Location Aware Radiation Monitoring System” (ALARMS) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Experimental Gas Cooled Reactor (EGCR) facility. Q-Track’s Near-Field Electromagnetic Ranging (NFER®) location system used four Locator-Receivers spaced about 20m (60ft) apart to track both workers and radiation-monitoring robots. The system achieved a 30cm (1ft) typical accuracy. The location error rarely exceeded 1m (3ft). The infrastructure located […]

Location awareness presents significant challenges. Lack of location data impacts the lives and safety of workers, as well as the bottom line. In many industrial, urban, or other settings, location awareness is uneconomical if it is available at all. Incumbent location providers take high frequency, short wavelength wireless systems, like Wi-Fi or UWB, that were optimized for high data rate communications, and they try to use them to solve the challenging problem of indoor wireless […]

Location Awareness for MOUT Training Huntsville, Alabama, June 4, 2008 Today, Q-Track demonstrated a system for tracking trainees in a Military Operations on Urban Terrain (MOUT) Training Range. The training range was comprised of several steel cargo containers modified with doors and windows. Q-Track’s NFER® real-time location system (RTLS) relied on four Locator-Receivers deployed around the perimeter of the training range. The system successfully tracked tagged individuals throughout the 25 x 25m (75 x 75ft) […]
