Abstract
A plurality of location beacons is deployed within a site that is divided into zones. A plurality of assets is distributed within the site, each asset having an asset beacon attached to it. A tag occasionally moving within the site continually locates its current zone by detecting short-range signals received from location beacons, and when detecting an asset beacon, the tag locates the respective asset within the current zone of the tag.
