Why does Troverlo mimic an Access Point?
Troverlo's asset tags, which transmit data via Wi-Fi beacons and leverage global Wi-Fi access point observations, offer enhanced detection range and efficiency while maintaining security, making them a compelling choice for asset tracking.
Wi-Fi Access Points are observed by connected devices all over the world. These observations are recorded in the cloud by numerous companies, some of which are Troverlo observation partners.
Since Troverlo compatible Asset Tags broadcast their information via Wi-Fi beacons, the do not ever establish a data connection. This approach enables faster and longer-range detection over alternative technologies (BT, RFID, Bar/QR codes, NFC) while eliminating DDOS and hacks.
Troverlo's goal is to drive the HIGHEST detectability using the LOWEST power (when running in battery mode). We have already made improvements in this area and continue to push the envelope on making off the shelf Wi-Fi chips use less power.
