Does mobe3 RTLS require any special equipment? Will I need infrastructure, beacons, or other hardware to get mobe3 RTLS to work?

For most deployments, no. mobe3 RTLS operates seamlessly with your existing 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi access points & iOS devices, delivering fast, cost-effective, & precise indoor location visibility—without the need for beacons or additional infrastructure.

However, tracking certain types of industrial equipment may require additional hardware. Our team can help you determine the best setup for your environment.

Can mobe3 RTLS show the location of asset tags, or just iPhones & iPads?

Absolutely. mobe3 RTLS integrates with specific BLE beacons to track their locations alongside iOS devices.

What’s the network impact/load of running mobe3 RTLS?

mobe3 RTLS is designed to be light on your network, efficiently sending compressed & encrypted data to the Azure cloud. We recommend allocating 50-250 Kbps of bandwidth per user to keep everything running smoothly. This ensures reliable, consistent performance across your entire operation.

Does mobe3 RTLS collect personally identifiable information (PII)?

No, mobe3 RTLS does not collect PII. It also doesn’t gather any data when the device is logged out of mobe3, outside the designated geofenced location, or when Location Services are disabled.

Get mobe3’s Technical & Security Overview (PDF) here.

Can anyone outside my company see my indoor map?

No. With mobe3 RTLS, you have full control over who can access your indoor map.

Can I geofence my site to only capture location details while on-site?

Yes. This is the standard configuration for most enterprise deployments.

What happens if Location Services is turned off?

mobe3’s location-based features won’t work. Just like the location-based apps you use in your personal life—Maps, Uber, DoorDash—mobe3 requires location access to function. However, most MDM solutions can notify you if Location Services is turned off on any given device.

What happens to indoor location accuracy when my site changes?

mobe3 RTLS's indoor positioning system is built to adapt—self-healing for changes affecting up to 20% of your infrastructure. For more significant adjustments, you can simply re-survey the site to recalibrate positioning.

How does mobe3 RTLS identify locations across different elevations?

mobe3 RTLS detects the vertical level of a device with granularity to one floor. From there, it uses the mobe3 RTLS Location definition to precisely pinpoint the specific height of a storage location.

What device should I use to track forklifts?

Dealer’s choice. If you’re already running mobe3 WMS on your forklifts via mounted iPad, you’re good to go. Otherwise, an entry-level iPhone is a great alternative. We’re happy to help you select the best-fit hardware for your operations.
