Security demands in government sectors have triggered RTLS market growth in recent years. Furthermore, in order to maintain the safety of patients, as well as the security of electronic health records and valuable assets, there is a higher demand for RTLS in healthcare. In addition, Zebra Technologies, a leader in providing visibility solutions that include RTLS, has seen RTLS adoption in both government and healthcare in addition to a variety of other verticals, including manufacturing and sports and entertainment.
"Real-time visibility is crucial for improving efficiencies across many segments and RTLS is an effective way for a business to gain valuable and accurate insights that can help them make meaningful business decisions," said Jill Stelfox, vice president and general manager of Location Solutions, Zebra Technologies. "We're excited to see Frost & Sullivan validate the value and potential of the technology and look forward to continuing to serve those who need a quality RTLS solution."
"Although end users can choose from a wider range of solutions presently available, the lack of uniform standards makes various available RTLS solutions challenging to integrate," said Frost & Sullivan Auto Identification Senior Research Analyst Nandini Bhattacharya. "Lack of interoperability and incompatibility between various infrastructures creates problems for the end users and is a restraint for the RTLS market."
Market participants continuously strive to develop better RTLS solutions with ongoing research and development, as product performance is a key competitive factor. The availability of a strong middleware and software solution is equally important for the RTLS technology to function smoothly. Other key competitive factors include seamless integration and high-quality post-deployment service.
"A big concern is the lack of solution providers with multiple interoperable technologies under the same roof. Current solutions in the market mostly focus on a single capability," said Bhattacharya. "Support of more than one protocol, such as that of a company like Zebra Technologies, is an example of the direction that the industry is headed."
