AeroScout architecture stands out in several ways:
• No modifications to mobile unit hardware or software. AeroScout works with standard
laptops, PDAs, barcode scanners and other Wi-Fi™ wireless devices. This eliminates
a major management challenge and enables simple implementation in public
environments.

• Open development platform. The AeroScout System includes a set of tools for
designing, testing and implementing enterprise-class location-based applications.
The Aeroscout Location Receiver (BWH1000-02) includes a Wi-Fi radio module and a
powerful TOA processor, typically installed alongside standard access points and remotely
configurable from the AeroScout Administration Console.
Approximately the size of a small access point, Location Receivers include an external
antenna connector and a Power-over-Ethernet adaptor. The Location Receivers can work
over a wireless bridge to avoid the need for a wired Ethernet connection.
