What makes Mapsted Omni Tag different from other asset tracking tags?

Mapsted Omni Tag is the standalone, no-gateway product in Mapsted's asset tracking lineup. Where Mapsted IoT Tag BLE / Wi-Fi variants pair with Mapsted Boost as the on-site gateway and analytics brain, Omni Tag deploys on its own — no Boost, no Total Station calibration, and no anchor density that legacy UWB RTLS systems require. Procurement to live tracking is a fast path among Mapsted's asset tracking devices, and the absence of gateway hardware lowers the deployment cost and ongoing maintenance burden.

Does the Mapsted asset and workforce visibility platform cover both indoor and outdoor venues?

Yes. The platform's indoor RTLS via Mapsted Tag, Badge, and Boost extends to outdoor positioning on the same stack — no third-party GPS partner is required for the outdoor leg. Venues that span warehouse yards, parking lots, campus quads, or vehicle staging areas get continuous indoor-to-outdoor tracking on the same Mapsted-native platform.

What battery life can Mapsted IoT Tag deliver?

Mapsted IoT Tag operates for three or more years on a single battery. The platform's multi-protocol radios — Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy, and LoRa — adapt to existing venue infrastructure rather than requiring dedicated UWB anchor installation, which keeps the radio power budget efficient.

Which verticals does the asset and workforce visibility platform serve?

Industrial and manufacturing, hospitals and healthcare, higher-education campuses, retail shopping malls, transportation hubs, and sports and event venues. The same platform stack serves all of them — the product mix (which combination of Omni Tag, Tag, Badge, Boost, and IoT Analytics LOCATE you deploy) varies by venue type and operational scenario.

Does the asset and workforce visibility platform require Mapsted Boost or other on-site gateway hardware?

It depends on the tag SKU. Mapsted Omni Tag deploys standalone — no Boost gateway, no on-site anchor density, and no calibration step. Mapsted IoT Tag BLE / Wi-Fi / LoRa variants and Mapsted Badge pair with Mapsted Boost as the on-site gateway that aggregates tag-radio reads and turns them into asset and personnel location on the Mapsted platform. A venue that wants to avoid on-site gateway hardware altogether picks Omni Tag for its asset tracking and the Mapsted Mobile SDK for hardware-free people tracking.

Can a venue run Mapsted Omni Tag and Mapsted IoT Tag in the same deployment?

Yes. The platform supports mixed-SKU deployments on a single venue. Omni Tag covers the standalone, no-gateway asset population. IoT Tag BLE or LoRa SKUs cover assets where the venue already runs the Boost gateway or where a non-standalone tag radio is preferred. All tag types deliver their location data to the same Mapsted platform layer, so dashboards and downstream integrations see one unified asset and personnel feed regardless of which tag SKU is reporting.

How long does an asset and workforce visibility deployment take from procurement to live tracking?

Mapsted Omni Tag deployments measure their procurement-to-live timeline in weeks because no gateway hardware needs to be installed, no Total Station calibration step is required, and no on-site anchor density needs to be engineered. Deployments that use Mapsted IoT Tag BLE / Wi-Fi / LoRa SKUs with Mapsted Boost include additional time for Boost gateway placement, but still avoid the anchor-density and calibration steps that legacy UWB RTLS systems require. IoT Analytics LOCATE dashboards and the Mapsted Mobile SDK for visitor flow layer in at any time after the tracking layer is live.

PLATFORM CAPABILITIES

Indoor and outdoor visibility on one integrated stack

Mapsted's asset and workforce visibility platform delivers location data for the things you need to find — assets, equipment, vehicles, personnel, visitors — across the full indoor-and-outdoor footprint of your venue, on one Mapsted-native stack with no third-party GPS partner required.

Products that make up the asset and workforce visibility stack

The platform organizes complementary products into one coherent stack. Mapsted Omni Tag is the standalone no-gateway differentiator — deploy and track without on-site infrastructure. Mapsted IoT Tag covers BLE, LoRa, and safety-equipped variants for venues that prefer non-standalone tag radios; these pair with Mapsted Boost as the on-site gateway and analytics brain. Mapsted Badge is the wearable identifier for workforce, visitors, and patients. IoT Analytics LOCATE is the analytics layer on top of the data.

Mapsted Omni Tag

No gateway. No anchor density. Just deploy.

Mapsted's purpose-built no-gateway asset tracking tag — engineered specifically for indoor and outdoor location at scale. Deploys standalone — no Mapsted Boost gateway, no Total Station calibration, no anchor density that legacy UWB RTLS systems require. A fast path from procurement to live tracking.

Mapsted IoT Tag

Multi-protocol asset tracking with 3+ year battery life.

Mapsted IoT Tag covers asset and personnel tracking across deployment scenarios — BLE for indoor venue-density tracking, LoRa for outdoor and wide-area coverage, plus safety-equipped variants with SOS, fall detection, and heat-exhaustion alerts. Three or more years of battery life. Tracks equipment, vehicles, pallets, tools, and high-risk personnel across industrial, healthcare, and higher-education venues.

Mapsted Badge

Wearable identifier for workforce, visitors, and patients — SOS standard.

Mapsted Badge is the dedicated wearable for workforce, visitor, and patient identification — every Badge ships with an SOS button as standard for lone-worker, patient-safety, and visitor-emergency workflows. Unlike Mapsted IoT Tag's asset-centric safety variants, Badge is purpose-built for human-worn, identity-tied tracking with historical location reporting for compliance and operational review.

Explore Badge

Mapsted Boost

Gateway and analytics brain for non-Omni-Tag deployments.

Mapsted Boost is the on-site gateway and analytics brain for venues that deploy Mapsted IoT Tag variants with BLE, Wi-Fi, or other non-standalone radios. Boost aggregates tag-radio reads on-site and turns them into asset and personnel location on the Mapsted platform. Mapsted Omni Tag deployments do not require Boost — that's the no-gateway differentiation.

IoT Analytics LOCATE

The analytics layer on top of asset and workforce data.

Real-time and historical analytics for asset utilization, personnel flow, and venue operations — built on the Tag, Badge, and Boost data layer. Dashboards, exports, and REST API access for downstream BI integration.

TECHNICAL DIFFERENTIATOR

Why Mapsted's no-gateway Omni Tag matters

Legacy RTLS systems require on-site gateway boxes, Total Station calibration, dense anchor arrays, wiring runs, electrician work, and ongoing maintenance contracts. Mapsted Omni Tag eliminates that entire install footprint — the tag itself handles location without external infrastructure on the venue floor.

No on-site gateway, no Total Station calibration, no anchor-density install
Procurement to live tracking in weeks, not quarters
Indoor and outdoor on the same tag SKU — no separate hardware for outdoor venues
Scale your tag count without scaling gateway count or infrastructure cost
