Hitachi announced on July 13 the release of Hitachi AirLocation II, an indoor/outdoor wireless LAN system to detect geographical positions. AirLocation II can accurately identify wireless handsets at the high speed of more than 200 times per second.

Under AirLocation II, a base station simultaneously conducts position detection and data/voice communication, and it is equipped with a radio relaying function that eliminates the LAN connectivity between stations.  The AirLocation II system comes with AirLocation II Receiver, a dedicated receiver station to detect positions.  By combining the receiver with a base station, the system can greatly reduce the costs for infrastructure.  Compared to the traditional model, the speed of detection is increased from a few times to more than 200 times per second, so that it is now possible to identify the locations of more handsets in short cycles.

With AirLocation II, a server located on a data center can control information on multiple, distributed positions.  Compatible with the IEEE 802.11b/g wireless LAN standard, AirLocation II can work with existing access points and mixed environments.  Supporting a wider variety of applications than ever, AirLocation II helps to construct a large-scale, flexible system.

The minimum configuration is available at 3,948,000 yen and up.  The company will start sales on July 14 and shipment in late September.
