Explore the building blocks of a tracking solution. The right technology starts with your asset, your workflow and your environment.
Interactive technology model
DRAG TO ROTATE · SCROLL TO ZOOM
Generic technology schematic, not a representation of a specific partner product. No product specifications are implied.
RFID
Identification, without the line of sight.
A reader exchanges radio signals with an RFID tag to identify an item. Passive tags draw energy from the reader; they do not continuously transmit or independently determine a GPS position. Reader locations and recorded transactions establish where an item was last detected.
Where it fits
Bulk inventory, doorway detection, file finding and custody transactions.
Read performance depends on tag, reader, materials, antenna placement and the site survey.

The physical device is only one part of a tracking workflow. Its fit with the asset, environment, identifiers, connectivity and operating process is assessed before a project is scoped.
Your assets. Your context. NTABTECH.
KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
Position ≠ communication.
Satellite positioning and satellite data connectivity are not the same capability.
GPS
Determine a position
GPS uses received satellite signals. It does not send your asset’s location back to a satellite.
CELLULAR / NETWORK
Transport the data
A supported data connection carries observations to software when coverage and service are available.
SOFTWARE
Record and manage
Display the reported event, time, location and status. A missing update is not proof of the asset’s current position.
