HID named in Gartner Magic Quadrant for Indoor Location Services Report

Vancouver, BC, Canada February 25, 2021 — HID Solutions Inc., a leading provider of real-time location systems (RTLS), today announced that it has been named in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Indoor Location Services, Global, published February 15, 2021.
According to the reports, “Complex, evolving use cases (e.g., social distancing) are driving requirements in new and existing markets. Infrastructure and operations leaders should assess vendors based on their capability to meet multiple end-user, indoor location opportunities and their ability to address new use scenarios.”
“We are honored to be included in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for the first time this year. Our solution that embraces multiple technologies to deliver a solution that supports multiple Healthcare, Commercial and Industrial use cases in a single platform is well suited for broad adoption by our customers.” says Marek Dutkiewicz, VP Technology and Product Strategy.
HID offers highly reliable and robust RTLS solutions. Our RTLS platform is a multi-purpose, reliable, high performance enterprise platform that supports staff, patient, visitor, and equipment-related applications, and offers the widest selection of tags to choose from. Offering security, safety, and functionality in one complete system, it includes both long-range location and instant choke-point detection as a result of its dual frequency implementation.
Gartner VP, Analysts, Tim Zimmerman and Annette Zimmermann said in the report: “(The) AllGuard solution delivers tags that use 433MHz active RFID or Wi-Fi for location solutions. The ability to use wired Ethernet, Wi-Fi or 900MHz RF signaling backhaul provides deployment flexibility for its location engine, workflow rule engine, and its data visualization and analytics applications. HID delivers services to clients in healthcare, commercial and industrial markets with a focus on North America. HID offers one of the smallest tag options with a diverse set of tags to deploy indoors, outdoors and in hazardous environments. The company continues to invest in end-to-end solutions in its target markets.”
