"The new office provides a regional facility to help us better serve our customers on the West Coast. It will function as a destination for meeting partners, customers and prospects and as a 'showroom' for our latest technology. We have set-up a fully functioning deployment of our Hybrid Gen2IR™ and Active-RFID RTLS in over  fifty rooms, so we can demonstrate the technology in use," said Dr. Ari Naim, CEO and Founder of CenTrak.

2011 was another breakthrough year for the company, as the number of CenTrak  installations grew into the hundreds. With over 300,000 tags deployed in the past four years including tens of thousands of active patient, staff, and temperature tags, CenTrak has positioned itself as one of the clear leaders in the healthcare RTLS industry.

"We are experiencing significant momentum at this point in the market's evolution. By exceeding our customers' expectations – typically due to our system's accuracy, speed, ease of installation/maintenance and affordability – we are receiving positive feedback, new referrals and more opportunities," indicated Dr. Naim.

"The healthcare RTLS market is rapidly evolving.  Hospitals are forgoing basic tracking projects in exchange for real value from integrating certainty-based room-and bed-level location data with traditional Hospital Information Systems and new RTLS workflow applications.  CenTrak's patented Gen2IR™ puts us in prime position to leverage the trend of location-enabling the applications hospitals already own," indicated Wil Lukens, Senior Vice President of Sales and Business Development for CenTrak.
