Wired and semi-wired RTLS systems rely on ceiling and wall-mounted network devices that require extensive installation, construction, and infrastructure investment. Ongoing maintenance, hardware expansion, and system management contribute to high total cost of ownership.
ClioConnect Compass™
Traditional RTLS Infrastructure
Wireless RTLS
Wireless network models reduce hard wiring but still depend on facility-wide device placement and dedicated infrastructure. While installation may be simplified, long-term scalability and maintenance requirements continue to impact operational efficiency and cost.
ClioConnect Compass™
ClioConnect Compass™ enables Altus ClioAir Connect carts to function as BLE 5.1 RTLS networks, eliminating heavy infrastructure requirements. By leveraging the mobile carts already deployed for patient care, it delivers zone-level location intelligence with accelerated implementation and at least 40% lower total cost of ownership.
RTLS Deployments Reimagined
ClioConnect Compass™ delivers BLE 5.1 mobile mesh networking through the Altus ClioAir™ Connect carts already used in patient care environments. Instead of installing fixed infrastructure, cart fleets become the foundation of a scalable, zone-level RTLS network.
Integrated with ClioConnect™ fleet management workflows, Compass enables asset tracking, staff location awareness, and operational visibility through a centralized software interface.
Key Benefits
ClioConnect Compass™ reduces infrastructure burden while delivering scalable, validated location intelligence across care environments.
At least 40% lower total cost vs. traditional RTLS due to reduced installation labor, lower continuous fees, and simplified maintenance.
Eliminates hard wiring requirements to support faster deployment and reduced construction disruption.
Seamlessly integrates with ClioConnect™ fleet management workflows through a centralized dashboard interface.
Enables staff duress, geofencing, and asset-level management with rule-based automation.
