Verdict
Ultrasound based RTLS for hospitals: the SonitorONE platform combines ultrasound, Bluetooth LE, RFID and phone locating for asset tracking, patient flow and staff duress. Licensing posture: No licensing program stated on their site: the about page frames the patent portfolio as a competitive moat for its own product.
What customers praise
Nearly three decades of R&D aimed at one narrow problem, ultrasound indoor positioning for healthcare, exactly the long focused filing history that gives a portfolio real depth.
What customers criticise
The portfolio exists to protect Sonitor's own hospital platform: no stated route for an outsider to license the ultrasound patents, so access in practice means a partnership on Sonitor's terms or nothing.
