Abstract
This document discloses a solution for managing a massive amount of asset tags in a system. According to an aspect, the system comprises: a plurality of asset tags, each asset tag associated with an asset, configured to establish a decentralized wireless network amongst the plurality of asset tags, to route payload data via the decentralized wireless network according to a first wireless communication protocol, and to transmit beacon signals according to a second wireless communication protocol different from the first wireless communication protocol; a positioning infrastructure comprising at least one location tracking node configured to receive said beacon signals, to determine location tracking information based on the received beacon signals, and to transmit the location tracking information to a server computer; the server computer configured to store a record for each asset, the record comprising the payload data received via the decentralized wireless network and further comprising location data based on the location tracking information received from the at least one location tracking node; and means for limiting transmissions of the beacon signals of the plurality of asset tags in a centralized manner such that simultaneous transmissions of the beacon signals are limited.
