This three-year agreement, with options to extend, positions Ekahau as the preferred provider of RTLS solutions to UHC's 294 member hospitals throughout the United States. Many of these institutions have Wi-Fi in place today making Ekahau's WI-Fi-based RTLS solution a logical choice for a cost-effective, quick deployment. Ekahau also has mutual certifications with all leading Wi-Fi infrastructure providers, further endorsing the benefits of Ekahau's location tracking solution to UHC and its member hospitals.

RTLS systems have become a mainstream technology in hospitals across the U.S. for tracking assets, inventory and patients and knowing the whereabouts of key staff members. Knowing the real-time whereabouts of these key assets has become mission critical to healthcare institutions, helping them reduce costs, improve workflow and increase the quality and timeliness of patient care.

"UHC is excited about entering into a new agreement with Ekahau because we believe they are one of the best RTLS system providers for our member hospitals," said Cindy White, UHC's vice president of operations. "We wanted a system that can cater to the unique tracking needs of each of our member hospitals and yet be simple and cost-effective to deploy."

Ekahau RTLS is a unique tracking system because it can locate objects using a hospital's existing Wi-Fi network, regardless of vendor or generation
