What location technology does AiRISTA Flow's Sofia platform use?

Sofia is a multi-radio RTLS platform supporting Wi-Fi and BLE as its core location technologies, with additional support for passive RFID, infrared, cellular, and GPS, plus sensors for temperature, humidity, and motion. UWB is under R&D evaluation but is not a released product technology.

Where did AiRISTA Flow's RTLS technology come from?

AiRISTA Flow's Wi-Fi RTLS line descends from Ekahau RTLS, which it acquired in March 2016 (both the US and Finland divisions). It continues to support the Ekahau RTLS customer base. There is no documented AeroScout lineage.
