Link Labs to Present at IEEE World Forum on Internet of Things (IoT) on July 20, 2021
Link Labs co-founder and CEO Bob Proctor will discuss how to achieve accuracy and affordability in IoT asset tracking
ANNAPOLIS, Md., July 13, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- IEEE World Forum on Internet of Things is a broad program including papers and presentations on the latest technology developments and innovations in the many fields and disciplines that drive the utility and vitality of IoT solutions and applications.
During the vertical and topical tracks, on Tuesday., July 20, 2021, Link Labs CEO Bob Proctor will give an informative presentation on using ranging communication technology to achieve high accuracy and affordability in IoT asset tracking.
Ranging has long been the gold standard for precision location systems, powering technologies such as GPS and Ultra-wideband (UWB)—but these are often too expensive for tracking items in an industrial environment and have onerous power requirements or finicky install procedures. Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices offer the possibility of significant reductions in cost, but the absence of an ability to support location determination via ranging has led to insufficient accuracy and limited adoption in manufacturing.
Bob will present an overview of the significant technological challenges for ranging-based asset tracking using BLE devices and discuss innovative methods for resolving them in software engineering at the firmware level of IoT devices.
Bob Proctor is the co-founder and CEO of Link Labs, a leading provider of an end-to-end IoT platform for tagging, locating and monitoring equipment, supplies and assets anywhere at any time. With a PhD in applied physics and 25 years of entrepreneurial and business leadership, Proctor is also a founding principal of Blu Venture Investors, a venture capital investment company that supports early-stage entrepreneurs in the mid-Atlantic region of the U.S., which gives him a unique point of view on a wide range of emerging technologies and their novel applications and potential market viability.
