Some RTLS systems require an on-site server to run the Location Engine and the Control Tower (see further down) [7]. Other systems run entirely in the cloud, not requiring an on-site server. In a cloud-based system the data from the Tags and Anchors is sent to the cloud through one or more gateways, usually through a cellular (4G/LTE, 5G) connection. Cloud-based RTLS systems are superior to on-site server-based systems: They don’t need to touch the local IT system, they are easier to deploy and maintain because there is no server maintenance, and the RTLS vendor is usually faster with updates because an update only needs to be deployed once to the cloud rather than to all on-site servers, which cannot be guaranteed to be online or accessible to the RTLS vendor at all times. RedLore’s Control Tower and Location Engine software runs in the cloud.
