Have you ever wondered where high value assets are located in your facility or on your campus? Especially those that are mobile assets. Have you ever wondered who and where visitors to your offices or campus facilities are located at any given time?
Ekahau is making the answers to these and other questions much easier and at a more rapid response. Safety, production costs, and time-to-market are vital points of consideration for industries, education and campus organizations.
"By being able to easily track people, vehicles, and assets, these factors can be made substantially more safe and efficient."
Founded in 2000, Ekahau is the recognized leader in location-enabling enterprise Wi-Fi networks. Ekahau's mission is to provide the easiest, most cost effective and accurate positioning solutions for locating people, assets, inventory and other objects using wireless enterprise networks. The Ekahau solution tracks wireless laptops, PDAs, VOIP phones, Wi-Fi tags and other 802.11 enabled devices.

With Ekahau, the critical corporate resources, people and assets, will be always available at the right place and at the right time.
As Ekahau's location tracking solution does not require installation of proprietary wireless infrastructure, but can be done individually over the private Wi-Fi network, the deployment cost is kept in minimum, and the overall system payback time is the fastest possible.
Safety and security applications are numerous especially in Healthcare:

Can you think of other Homeland Security and first responder applications using the Ekahau capabilities especially in post event incident management and key personnel tracking inside a closed perimeter? As WiMax and other 802.11 networks are deployed in major metro locations, the applications become wide spread.
People: Beyond Travel Risk Management...
When was the last time your corporate travel department gave you some timely INTEL?
Maybe you got a report on the current level of risk in the foreign region, city or country you are now scheduled to visit in the next few days. What are you going to do if everything “Goes South” in a matter of seconds or minutes?
The Mission
In situations that require instinctive response, you have to go beyond the traditional travel management report on what to do and who to call. You have to be proactive and make decisions on your own.
In order to survive, one must be trained on the authoritative, detailed description of the methods by which terrorist organizations, hostile intelligence services, and criminal groups select and target specific individuals.
Individuals and a team must learn how they can detect and counter potential threats against them, and their sponsoring organizations to better manage these pervasive operational risks.
These threats could include recruitment by a hostile service, kidnapping or assassination by terrorist and criminal elements or espionage by business competitors.
Combined with real-time INTEL, you must receive intense, real-time instruction in surveillance detection and counter-surveillance so that you can take appropriate actions.
Combining real-time intelligence with a focused surveillance and threat detection-training program is exactly what savvy corporate executives and Chief Security Officers are looking for from a single source.
Personnel threat management is a prudent risk mitigation solution. This combination is one key strategy to mitigate the operational risks associated with key personnel in your organization.
Individuals whose occupations place them at risk may include people with access to valuable proprietary information or holders of high level security clearances, the wealthy and those responsible for their safety.
The Take Away
Combine two parts Threat Detection & Management Training with one part INTEL and you have the perfect combination to ensure the successful completion of corporate or organizational missions across the globe…
