1 Overview
1.1 General
The SIMATIC RTLS4420G represents, like the SIMATIC RTLS 4420A, a basing point with a
fixed position for the localization within the SIMATIC Locating Manager. The gateway can be
connected to the local IT-infrastructure via Ethernet. Through this connection the nodes
(anchors and gateways) will exchange the localization data gathered as well as customer
specific data between the localization network and the localization server. It is suggested to
deploy several gateways for larger localization networks in order to raise the number of
locatable transponders and to enhance the availability of the position information.
