Robust stack
Java OpenJDK, Python, FastAPI and Apache Tomcat power complex business logic, workflow rules and event processing.
Technology
State-of-the-art RTLS technology for people, assets & indoor positioning
The Trackerwave Ovitag™ RTLS System is a comprehensive technology platform for advanced indoor location and tracking — a tailor-made solution enabling smart hospitals to digitally leverage efficiency and safety workflows. Built primarily on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), complemented by UWB, Wi-Fi, RFID, LoRa and NB-IoT for precise positioning, low power consumption and seamless integration.
The Trackerwave IoT Platform
A distributed architecture built for scale, low latency and enterprise reliability
Specialized tiers seamlessly collect, process and analyze data — from the bedside sensor to the executive dashboard. Secure and extensible by design, with Over-the-Air updates and REST APIs that integrate with EMRs via HL7 and FHIR.
- Secure, extensible, cloud-agnostic architecture
- Over-the-Air firmware updates across the fleet
- REST APIs and HL7/FHIR connectors for EMR/HIS
Tier 1 · Event Producers
IoT Devices & Sensors
Physical devices that collect data from the environment and transmit it to the network.
- Multi-protocol wearable tags, tamper-proof asset tags and environmental sensors
- E-ink coasters and mobile devices with BLE, Wi-Fi and RFID
- Over-the-Air firmware updates via HTTP or MQTT for low-maintenance upgrades
Tier 2 · Event Aggregators
Gateway & Edge Computing
Multi-spectrum IoT Gateway Readers or existing enterprise Wi-Fi infrastructure aggregate, filter and forward data at the edge.
- Trackerwave TWR1W (Wi-Fi) and TWR1P (PoE) Gateway Readers
- Works with existing AP controllers — Cisco, Meraki, Aruba, Ruckus
- Edge Gateway Servers process, filter and normalize data locally before pushing to cloud
- Store-and-forward for smooth operation during network outages
Tier 3 · Event Processors
Cloud & API Application Servers
Cloud-agnostic hosting — on-premise or across AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform.
Centralized MQTT cluster
Load-balancing and stream filtering across multiple facilities and campuses from a single control plane.
Cloud-agnostic deployment
Deploy on-premise or across AWS, Azure or GCP — the same platform, the same APIs, the same security posture.
Tier 4 · Event Storage
High-Performance Database Tier
Purpose-built data stores for transactional, analytical and binary workloads.
Transactional · MySQL
Robust user access, permission management and operational data storage.
Analytical · ClickHouse
High-performance analytical database for time-series event data, complex querying and real-time reporting.
File Storage · BLOB
Digital twin floor maps, logos and digital stationary templates retained securely.
Enterprise Integration Engine
Native, bidirectional data exchange with your hospital systems
- EMR / HIS: HL7 v2.x and FHIR messaging (ADT and more) to automatically enroll and track patient pathways without manual data entry
- API Interoperability: Modern REST APIs integrate with ERPs, HRMS and Building Management Systems (BMS)
- Workflow triggers: Location events become actionable tasks in your existing systems
Defense-in-Depth Security
Security is paramount — aligned with OWASP best practices
A layered strategy protects sensitive healthcare data at every tier of the platform.
Encryption
Data protected at rest and in transit via TLS/SSL and AES 128-bit encryption.
Access Control
OAuth 2.0 integrated with Active Directory / LDAP for Single Sign-On (SSO) and strict Role-Based Access Control (RBAC).
Global Certifications
ISO 27001:2013 · ISO 9001:2015 · SOC 2 · HIPAA · GDPR · FCC compliant.
