Ekahau Inc., a leading provider of Wi-Fi-based Real Time Location Systems

In addition to supporting the beaconing-protocol as part of the Cisco

flexibility to use the Ekahau tags for a broad set of applications, while
utilizing Ekahau's smart tags functions and software for applications
requiring two-way communication, text messaging, remote tag maintenance and
other advanced features. With this certification, the Ekahau system is
