Haltian EH Locator

Overview

The Haltian EH Locator is a versatile fixed network element designed for the Haltian Inventory Tracking Solution (HITS). This innovative device can harvest power from indoor lighting or sunlight, eliminating the need for constant external power and enabling flexible installation anywhere indoors.

The EH Locator serves as a critical component in Wirepas mesh networks, providing:

• Dual operating modes: Router mode (for mesh networking) or Beacon mode (for positioning)
• Energy harvesting: Powered by indoor light, sunlight, or USB-C
• Extended battery life: Up to 10 days in router mode, 4 years in beacon mode
• Reliable communication: Receives and transmits messages from asset tags and other routers
• Positioning support: Transmits beacon messages for tag inventorying and positioning

Key Features

Physical Overview

Typical Use Cases

Inventory Tracking

Deploy multiple EH Locators to create a mesh network covering a warehouse or facility. Tags report to nearest locators, which forward messages to the gateway and cloud platform for real-time asset tracking.

Indoor Positioning

Install EH Locators at regular intervals as positioning reference points. Tags calculate their position based on beacon signals from multiple locators, enabling accurate indoor asset positioning and zone detection.

Mesh Network Extension

Add EH Locators to extend Wirepas mesh network coverage, fill coverage gaps in challenging RF environments, and ensure reliable connectivity between tags and gateways.
