How does room-level location tracking work?
Each Repeater continuously scans for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) signals broadcast by nearby Cards. When a Card is within range of one or more Repeaters, the system triangulates its position based on signal strength and maps it to the room or zone where that Repeater is installed. As a Card user moves through the building, their location updates on the 3D map in real time, accessed via
app.punchrescue.com. The more evenly distributed your Repeaters are, the more precise the tracking.
