Locator System

The Infostar/Infrared Locator System (ILS) is an infrared based wireless locating system that allows users to find staff, patients, and equipment via LAN based PCs, display telephones, nurse communication systems, or any other touch tone telephone inside or outside a healthcare facility. Each staff member wears an individually-coded, clip-on transmitter badge that holds their ID card. The transmitters are also affixed to hospital equipment. As staff and equipment move around the building, the signals from these transmitters are picked up by different sensors located throughout the facility. The sensors forward the location of each staff member or piece of equipment to a master control unit, and their real-time locations can be called up on a display station at the nurses' station.
