Frequently Asked Questions
RTLS That Helps You See What Is Happening Now
Location data is most valuable when it helps teams act in the moment. NovoTrax RTLS gives organizations real-time visibility into the location and movement of people, vehicles, and critical assets so they can respond faster, coordinate more effectively, and operate with greater awareness.
Whether supporting a school campus, healthcare facility, enterprise environment, or public safety operation, NovoTrax connects real-time location services to alerts, communication, access control, and incident workflows — turning live visibility into coordinated action.
Why Live Location Visibility Matters for Safety and Operations
Many location systems only show where something was last detected. That may be enough for basic asset lookup, but it falls short when teams need live awareness, movement context, and fast response.
NovoTrax RTLS is built for active monitoring. Instead of relying only on last-known location, it helps organizations understand where people and assets are now, how they are moving, and what action should happen next.
That difference matters in environments where speed, coverage, and coordination directly affect safety and operations.
Passive RTLS Shows Where It Was. Active RTLS Helps You Respond Now.
Report by Exception RTLS
Some RTLS deployments rely on report-by-exception models that only update location when a tag is scanned or briefly detected. In those environments, teams often get a last-seen location but little visibility into live movement.
No battery tags
Tags do not transmit on their own
Last known location
No movement paths
NovoTrax Continuous Monitoring
NovoTrax Continuous Monitoring RTLS takes a more active approach. Battery-powered tags continuously transmit location signals, making it possible to see live location, movement paths, and changing position in real time.
Battery-powered tags
Tags actively transmit location signals
Live location and movement
Movement paths and route visibility
Track people, assets, and activity in real time.
Real-Time Location Services (RTLS) use a network of BLE sensors, wearable tags, and gateways to monitor the live location of people and physical assets. With smart geofencing, alert automation, and historical tracking, RTLS gives you the awareness and control to respond in real time and with precision.
Wearable Tags & Badges
Equip staff, students and visitors with discreet tags featuring panic buttons and real-time tracking.
Emergency Routing
Quickly identify who is in danger and where help is needed—reducing response times in crisis events.
Geofencing & Instant Alerts
Create smart zones across your facility. Receive alerts if someone enters or exits a restricted area.
Asset Tracking
Instantly locate mobile medical equipment, radios, tools, or shared devices.
Built for Real-Time Awareness Across People, Assets, and Movement
NovoTrax RTLS helps organizations monitor the live location of staff, vehicles, visitors, and mobile resources across mapped environments. With geofencing, alert automation, and connected workflows, teams can quickly identify where help is needed, locate key resources, and respond with more precision.
The platform is designed to support both emergency response and day-to-day operations, helping organizations improve visibility without treating location data as a standalone feed.
Key RTLS Features and Benefits
Real-Time Resource Tracking
Gain precise live visibility into the location of staff, vehicles, and critical assets to improve operational awareness and response speed.
Enhanced Communication
Connect real-time location context to communication workflows so teams can coordinate action with greater clarity and less delay.
Seamless Integration
Use RTLS as part of a connected NovoTrax platform that brings together alerts, workflows, and operational visibility.
Vehicle and Asset Visibility
Track vehicle locations and mobile resources so teams can quickly identify, locate, and deploy critical assets.
Coordinated Response
Use a unified operational view of people, resources, and incidents to strengthen decision-making and improve response execution.
How It Works
Powered by the NovoTrax Korvex Gateway
The NovoTrax Korvex Gateway is the infrastructure layer behind NovoTrax RTLS, helping connect RTLS tags, panic buttons, sensors, and mesh-connected devices to the NovoTrax platform in real time.
As part of the NovoTrax proprietary Mesh Network, Korvex helps extend communication across buildings, campuses, and operational environments — supporting live location visibility, location-aware alerts, geofencing workflows, and coordinated response. With support for Standard BLE, long-range Coded PHY, flexible reporting modes, and optional Angle of Arrival precision on select models, Korvex gives organizations the network foundation needed to turn location signals into actionable intelligence.
Korvex Gateway Models
Korvex Air
Standalone gateway for distance-based connectivity. Korvex Air supports broad gateway coverage for environments that need reliable communication between NovoTrax devices and the cloud.
Korvex Pro
Standalone gateway for distance and precision. Korvex Pro is designed for deployments that require both extended coverage and more precise RTLS capabilities.
Korvex One
Standalone gateway with distance, precision, and local alerts. Korvex One supports gateway connectivity, precision RTLS use cases, and local visual/audio alerting for environments that need on-site notification capabilities.
Korvex Node
Wall-mounted relay node for extending the mesh network. Korvex Node helps expand coverage by relaying communication back to the gateway across larger or more complex environments.
Korvex Nano
Embedded gateway for compact deployments. Korvex Nano provides an embedded gateway option for distance-based connectivity where a smaller form factor is needed.

Connected to the Rest of the NovoTrax Platform
RTLS becomes more valuable when it works inside a connected workflow platform. The current NovoTrax RTLS solution is already positioned as part of the broader NovoTrax platform and integrated with geofencing, panic alerts, and automated safety actions such as door locks, mass notifications, and video-related workflows. It also highlights compatibility with video surveillance, access control, and communication platforms.
