HTMwire assessment
RTLS platform (Sofia) using Wi-Fi and BLE for asset tracking, staff safety duress alerts, and environmental monitoring. ISO 9001/27001 certified.
Enterprise RTLS platform leveraging existing Wi-Fi and BLE infrastructure for healthcare asset tracking, staff safety, and environmental monitoring — avoiding costly dedicated RTLS infrastructure buildouts.
HTMwire's independent read on the technology — not the vendor's marketing claim.
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.
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.
Per Cisco Meraki's RTLS integration documentation, AiRISTA's solutions are used in more than 300 hospitals worldwide. AiRISTA Flow is headquartered in the Sparks/Timonium, Maryland area.
Yes. Sofia supports HL7 integration and is positioned to connect with EHR systems for patient data and care coordination. Its staff safety solution integrates with the Ascom Healthcare Platform, adding location awareness to nurse-call and alarm workflows.
