AeroScout Unveils New tracking Product

AeroScout, Inc., the leading provider of Unified Asset Visibility for improving operational efficiency and quality, announced a new solution that combines GPS with Wi-Fi. The innovative solution enables accurate asset tracking and management in very large outdoor environments, and has been selected by the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG) to help improve productivity and operations at a 110 million square-foot outdoor facility at the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona.
The new GPS and Wi-Fi solution builds on AeroScout's Unified Asset Visibility (UAV) offerings and strategy of combining multiple data sources and technologies into one Wi-Fi-based system. The solution includes mobile, battery-powered tags that use both GPS to determine location in any outdoor environment and standard Wi-Fi to transport asset location and other valuable information to the customer's network. The GPS and Wi-Fi combination delivers a cost-effective solution for the 309th AMARG, in part by leveraging its existing Wi-Fi access points and network.
The solution will leverage the facility's existing Wi-Fi network and42 a ccess points with high gain antennas, which are also used for data communication. Using AeroScout's MobileView 4.0 software, staff will be able to easily search for, locate and manage essential equipment. Because AeroScout's RFID solutions have been developed and proven to handle tens of thousands of tagged items, the 309th AMARG will be able to meet both its current and future needs. AeroScout's scalable solution will help the 309th AMARG improve staff productivity andoperations, while taking advantage of its Wi-Fi infrastructure and GPS to keep total costs low.
