Introduction 
The AeroScout™ Location Receiver is a component of the AeroScout wireless LAN location 
platform, which adds accurate location capabilities to a Wi-Fi™ wireless network. The 
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. 
•  No dedicated backbone network. All communications between Location Receivers 
and the AeroScout Location Server use standard Ethernet connections and 
AeroScout achieves accurate measurement synchronization without the use of a 
dedicated network. 
•  Locates equipment that is not Wi-Fi enabled. Small, battery-powered AeroScout Tags 
can be attached to a variety of equipment, such as medical devices, containers and 
shopping carts. 
•  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.
