AirFinder OnSite is Link Labs’ cutting-edge, next-generation RTLS industrial IoT technology that easily and affordably tracks your indoor assets with fine-tuned up to centimeter level accuracy for campus-based environments.
Founded by a group of engineers from the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab, Link Labs, AirFinder OnSite was developed to be an affordable IoT asset tracking solution that surpasses UWB and Bluetooth LE applications using Xtreme Low Energy (XLE®) technology, which extends battery life by more than 400% and offers a flexible architecture for campus-based environments. Scalable and simple to install, AirFinder OnSite improves accuracy as the tag determines location using patented phase-ranging or proximity-based technology at a 90% savings compared to other providers. AirFinder OnSite is the best solution for manufacturing and logistics companies to keep track of work-in-process, inventory, equipment, tools, packages, personnel and beyond.

Enterprise-grade asset tracking and monitoring are never one size fits all, therefore, Link Labs built AirFinder OnSite. Our solution is the first enterprise Real-Time Location System (RTLS) that provides up to centimeter level accuracy by using a Bluetooth LE radio to support both Bluetooth LE and phase ranging with a flexible architecture. Using six patented Link Labs technologies, this system was developed on Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF52833, a general-purpose multiprotocol SoC (system-on-chip) with a Bluetooth LE Direction Finding capable radio, in addition to employing numerous innovations at the firmware level – including ranging methodology, interference avoidance, location algorithm, power efficiency and scalability to high tag densities.
