Consider a hybrid stack? Most real-world programmes use 2 or 3 technologies together. Talk to us if your answers cross categories — e.g. UWB at choke-points + BLE everywhere else.
This tool is a starting point, not a procurement decision. Real RTLS programmes combine radios, integrate with your existing systems, and require on-site survey. The recommendation here matches the dominant signal in our two decades of deliveries — if your real use case has nuance, that's exactly what we're useful for.
