CenTrak Delivers the Most Scalable and Interoperable RTLS Platform in Healthcare with the Addition of Plug-and-Play BLE

by Jon Seals | March 5, 2025 | | 0 comments

CenTrak’s expanded suite of RTLS technologies provide unprecedented flexibility for hospitals

NEWTOWN, Pa. – CenTrak, the leader in real-time location system (RTLS) solutions, announces the expansion of its comprehensive RTLS portfolio with the launch of a fully integrated, plug-and-play Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) platform. This cost-effective solution is designed to provide healthcare organizations with unprecedented flexibility, supporting asset tracking, staff duress systems, and other essential applications. As the first provider to deliver a full spectrum of location technologies on a single, interoperable platform, CenTrak, built on decades of industry expertise, sets itself apart from newer vendors that offer only BLE-based tracking.

“For years, healthcare facilities have faced a difficult choice when it comes to RTLS—opt for basic, lower-cost BLE solutions with limited precision or invest in clinical-grade locating for maximum accuracy. With CenTrak, they no longer have to choose,” shared Kevin Paroda, Director, Global Product Management at CenTrak. “Our scalable platform is built to evolve with healthcare organizations, seamlessly transitioning between BLE-Only, BLE Multi-Mode, and Clinical-Grade Locating networks. With a flexible, personalized approach, CenTrak empowers providers to deploy the right RTLS solution for their unique needs, both now and in the future.”

Featuring a new suite of BLE tags, badges, and plug-and-play network devices, the platform is thoughtfully designed to ensure the reliability, scalability, and interoperability that hospitals require. This expansion highlights CenTrak’s commitment to delivering customer-driven solutions that address the critical needs of healthcare facilities.

CenTrak enables healthcare organizations to enhance efficiency, safety, and patient care through:

  • Asset tracking – Locate and manage equipment with BLE-Only, BLE Multi-Mode, or clinical-grade precision.
  • Staff duress – Protect frontline workers with reliable emergency call functionality. Increase location granularity in high-risk areas while using BLE for campus-wide coverage.
  • Infant protection – Ensure newborn safety with cost-effective zonal security, scalable to precise, room-level tracking—ideal for facilities of all sizes.
  • Hand hygiene and workflow automation – Improve compliance and operational efficiency with advanced, clinical-grade locating.

In response to the growing demand for more cost-effective RTLS solutions, CenTrak also offers flexible software deployment models, including serverless, cloud-based options that reduce IT burden while maintaining robust security. Later this year, the company will further expand its cloud-based XaaS offerings, providing even greater affordability and ease of implementation for healthcare organizations.

CenTrak remains at the forefront of RTLS innovation, continuously evolving to meet the dynamic needs of healthcare providers. With an unwavering commitment to flexibility, scalability, and customer-driven development, CenTrak is redefining how hospitals leverage RTLS technology. As healthcare environments grow more complex, CenTrak will continue pioneering advanced, interoperable solutions that simplify implementation while enhancing patient safety, operational efficiency, and staff security—empowering providers to deliver the highest standard of care.
