WhereNet provides an integrated wireless infrastructure for real-time location, digital messaging, telemetry, and wireless networking applications. The result is continuous information about valuable assets, their physical location, and status. Driven by wireless radio frequency WhereTags and WhereLAN locating access points, WhereNet offers both a real-time locating system (RTLS) and 802.11 access points for non-WhereNet wireless LAN clients and applications.

Applications in Aerospace and Defense
Significant opportunities exist to apply WhereNet's leading edge technology and lessons learned from
commercial implementations. Application areas include:

LEAN Manufacturing: Tracking work in process, locating critical tools and test equipment, and using line
side call buttons for pull replenishment are a few of the key ways companies use WhereNet to reduce waste
and facilitate continuous process improvement.

Depot Maintenance: Remanufacturing workflows benefit greatly from applying lean management
techniques to the more variable workflows encountered in remanufacturing.

Fleet Maintenance Management: WhereNet vehicle telemetry tags plug into commercial On Board
Diagnostic II (OBD II) plugs, facilitating not only check-in and check-out processes but also automating
reporting of fuel, odometer and fault indicators.

AGE/GSE/MHE Tracking: WhereNet provides the flexibility to track critical support equipment and trailers
across thousands of feet of open flight line or moving through metal cages in a warehouse.

Equipment Tracking within facilities: WhereNet’s superior ability to read through clutter, flexible
configuration and ability to coexist with wireless networks make the technology an excellent fit for tracking
high value and sensitive items.

Personnel Accountability and Evacuation: WhereNet tags can be used to track personnel only when
an emergency occurs, permitting use in classified facilities and respecting employee privacy.

Intermodal Yard Management: Unlike presence only or portal based tracking solutions, WhereNet
provides spot locating and auditing capabilities to speed throughput at critical transit points.
