User Badge for Access and Tracking

In environments such as event venues or large-scale work facilities, crowded or expansive spaces can make it difficult to locate individuals, whether it's an employee, a contractor, or someone in need of assistance. User badges, when combined with real-time locationing, go beyond secure access to restricted areas. They become powerful tools for enhancing safety, coordination, and operational efficiency, especially in scenarios where quickly finding personnel is critical.

This user badge for access and tracking features high-accuracy locationing (down to <50 cm) and low latency (supporting over 500 tag/locator updates per second). Powered by Renesas' Asset Tracking and Locationing at Scale (ATLAS) technology, it delivers ultra-low power performance, enabling badges to operate for months between charges. It supports continuous monitoring for personnel safety and secure access control to critical areas and resources.
