摘要:
Described is a modular access point for wireless communications. The access point includes a housing which has at least one module receiving slot and a first wireless communication radio. The radio communicates with a first wireless device via a first frequency band. The access point also includes a removable module configured for insertion into the module receiving slot. The module includes a second communication radio utilizing a second frequency band so that, when the removable module is inserted into the slot, the access point is capable of communicating with a second wireless device via at least one of the first and second frequency bands. The access point includes a plurality of antenna connectors which are connected to the first and second radios. The access pint may utilize external antennas or internal antenna modules which interchangeably attachable to the antenna connectors.

摘要:
An apparatus and method for facilitating locating, tracking and managing of hospital assets, patients and hospital personnel within a healthcare facility, providing one or more signal detecting devices configured in locations within a healthcare facility, providing associated patient RFID tags which may be sensed as the patient moves within the range of a signal detecting device, where one or more zones of detection within the healthcare facility are configured to correspond with hospital units, and where the information may be collected and used in real-time to manage patients, assets and staff through the collection of location and dwell times, and alerting and reporting of events associated with the collected information.
