Big Boom in Real-Time Locating Systems for Sports Industry

Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS), also known as real-time location systems, are used to automatically identify and track the location of objects or people in real time, usually within a building or other enclosed area. Wireless RTLS tags are attached to objects or worn by people. In most RTLS, fixed reference points receive wireless signals from tags to determine their position. Examples of real-time location systems are tracking cars down an assembly line, finding pallets of goods in a warehouse, or finding medical equipment in a hospital.

The physical layer of RTLS technology is usually some form of radio frequency (RF) communication, but some systems use optical (usually infrared) or acoustic (usually ultrasonic) technology in place of or in addition to RF. Tags and fixed reference points can be transmitters, receivers or both, which leads to numerous possible technology combinations.

RTLS are a form of Local Positioning System and are usually not related to GPS or cell phone tracking. Location information usually does not include speed, direction, or spatial orientation.
