Command Station Reference – A Command Station Reference is a Ranging Anchor Node that is
attached directly to the Command Software computer using a USB cable. The Command
Software Reference provides the same function as a Ranging Anchor Node, but it provides
additional reference sensor data to improve accuracy. Section 10 describes the proper
configuration of the Command Station reference.

personnel. A tracked person interacts with a Check-in Location by placing their phone equipped
with the Neon Mobile Android App close enough to the Check-In Location to activate the NFC
RFID tag. Refer to section 11 of this manual for information about how to install and configure

4.1 Event/VIP Security
The Neon Indoor Location System delivers a highly portable solution for obtaining enhanced situational
awareness for event security applications where VIPs are being monitored, or where security personnel
are positioned to secure an important event or facility. The Neon System delivers location and status of
on-foot security personnel within buildings to enhance situational awareness and improve the
effectiveness of incident management.

on-foot security personnel within buildings to enhance situational awareness and improve the
effectiveness of incident management.
In this application, each member of the security detail is equipped with a TRX Tracking unit and an
android-based cellular device or data-compatible radio. The location of all security personnel is shown
in both 2D and 3D within the building in which the event is taking place (both from the Command
Software operating on a laptop or from an Android handset or tablet). If there is an emergency, the
appropriate personnel can be moved into place.
