ANNAPOLIS, MD. (PRWEB) APRIL 22, 2021

[Link Labs](https://www.link-labs.com/), a leading provider of an end-to-end enterprise IoT platform for locating, managing and monitoring equipment, supplies and assets anywhere at any time, today announced the awarding of six U.S. patents for technological innovations in its [AirFinder OnSite™](https://www.prweb.com/releases/link_labs_launches_airfinder_onsite_its_next_generation_iot_asset_tracking_platform_with_unprecedented_sub_meter_accuracy_and_affordability/prweb17788727.htm) IoT asset tracking platform.

“Our AirFinder OnSite innovations at the firmware level of IoT devices resolve an array of technical challenges that are critical to making enterprise-grade IoT asset tracking more precise, more power-efficient and more affordable,” said Bob Proctor, CEO of Link Labs. “The challenges addressed by our software engineering – including ranging methodology, interference avoidance, location algorithm, power efficiency and scalability to high tag densities – power AirFinder OnSite’s first-ever fine-tuning of asset location up to meter level.”

“Our six innovations also unlock the keys to dramatic improvements in battery life at the tag level, unprecedented speed in determining tag location and unmatched reductions in infrastructure cost and total cost of ownership,” said Proctor. “All of our innovations are supported by industry-standard Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) chipsets, which allows these new advanced capabilities to be incorporated into any manufacturer’s BLE tags with a simple firmware upgrade.”

[Launched in March 2021](https://www.prweb.com/releases/link_labs_launches_airfinder_onsite_its_next_generation_iot_asset_tracking_platform_with_unprecedented_sub_meter_accuracy_and_affordability/prweb17788727.htm), AirFinder OnSite is an enterprise IoT platform for managing hundreds to millions of things and features customized reporting and advanced analytics while integrating seamlessly into business workflows. It is ideal for IoT asset tracking in facilities with large footprints such as distribution centers, warehouses, manufacturing sites and hospitals, among others. AirFinder OnSite is initially being offered to early technology adopters through Link Labs’ AirFinder Early Access Program™. General availability is expected in Summer 2021.

AirFinder OnSite’s patents include:

- U.S. Patent No. 10,873,949: Battery Watchdog System and Methodology: A battery system that incorporates a watchdog and power throttling capability to monitor a device’s battery consumption and control various functions and timing of events, which conserves power and ensures a device meets its required minimum life of operation.
