Product overview

RTLS (OOO «РТЛС исследования и разработки») is a Russian designer and manufacturer of Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) offering a platform-plus-modules architecture. The portfolio centers on the RTLS positioning platform built around proprietary UWB (Ultra-Wideband) hardware anchors and a full software stack: RTLS LocIT server software (currently v6, registered in the Russian Unified Register of Software) with coordinate calculation modules (SW-LOCIT-LE for UWB and BLE), the BA business application web interface (with SMALL/MEDIUM/LARGE/XLARGE tag-count tiers), the ULUN firmware for tag and anchor operation, and supplementary engineering, redundancy, data fusion, and CAS extension license modules. Hardware product lines include UWB anchors in Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and explosion-proof (Zone 1/2) variants; XIOT universal personal tags supporting hybrid positioning across UWB, BLE, GNSS, and LoRaWAN with BLE sensor data collection (e.g., gas analyzers); transport tags with telemetry collection; CAS/CAS2/CAS360 collision avoidance systems with optional LTE, LoRaWAN, and automatic braking via CAN-bus; and a complete UAV Precision Landing System with onboard computer, UWB tags, and MAVLink autopilot integration. The platform integrates with third-party systems via API, MQTT, Keycloak (SSO), MAVLink (autopilots), BLE peripherals, and CAN-bus vehicle systems.
