danalto Integrates UWB Tracking Capabilities onto Cisco Wi-Fi 6 Access Points, Enhancing Real-Time Tracking for Enterprise Networks

Danalto, a leader in advanced tracking solutions, has recently announced the integration of its ultra-wideband based (UWB) tracking technology onto Cisco Wi-Fi 6 access points. This integration leverages danalto’s FiLo dongle, which connects to the USB ports of Cisco Wi-Fi 6 access points (APs), enabling seamless UWB tracking networks across enterprises.

This cutting-edge integration empowers organizations to deploy real-time asset and personnel tracking solutions without requiring additional infrastructure. By utilizing the existing Cisco Wi-Fi 6 APs, enterprises can efficiently deploy UWB tracking networks with minimal effort and cost. The solution supports application hosting, providing a flexible, scalable platform for enterprise-wide UWB tracking systems.

Accurate and timely asset tracking in hospitals using UWB means that those in search of medical devices, for example, breathing apparatus, can now view the asset's location down to 30-50cm accuracy, as opposed to room level accuracy previously supported incumbent technologies like BLE and Wi-Fi.  Furthermore, UWB does not now need independent network infrastructure (beacons / anchors) to be made available as the Cisco Wi-Fi 6 / 6E network or later can now support Danalto's FiLo dongle. This USB dongle brings up UWB over Wi-Fi networks easily and without the cost and complexity of another piece of network infrastructure.  There is an active CDA project in the University Hospital Galway in Ireland where physiotherapists and other staff are looking to find breathing apparatus as these go missing and are required in ICU urgently for example AIRVO and NIV machines.

“danalto’s integration of UWB tracking onto Cisco’s Wi-Fi 6 access points represents a game-changing innovation in real-time asset tracking,” said Albert Baker, COO at Danalto. “By using FiLo dongles to unlock UWB capabilities on Cisco APs, we are helping businesses across sectors like healthcare and manufacturing to enhance operational efficiency, improve asset management, and boost safety.”

The FiLo dongle connects effortlessly to Cisco Wi-Fi 6 access points, transforming the existing wireless infrastructure into a powerful, low-latency UWB tracking network. The solution is ideal for enterprises looking to improve visibility and control of assets, personnel, and equipment across large spaces.

The UWB tracking technology, with its high-accuracy location capabilities, supports mission-critical applications in healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, and beyond. It enables enterprises to track assets with centimeter-level precision, facilitating smarter decision-making, faster response times, and a more efficient use of resources.

The integration of UWB tracking onto Cisco Wi-Fi 6 access points is the latest development in danalto’s ongoing commitment to providing innovative, scalable solutions that address the evolving needs of businesses across the globe.
