Quuppa RTLS installation planning
Quuppa RTLS installation planning connects the approved locator layout, position and orientation records, network design, and positioning-engine handoff. Confirm the selected locator models and wired or Q-Link topology before scoping installation.

SRS Networks is a nationwide infrastructure deployment company headquartered in South San Francisco, California, serving enterprises across the 48 contiguous states, Alaska, and Hawaii since 1996. We scope mounting, cabling, network readiness and field documentation against the selected RTLS design. The platform owner specifies the radio layout, commissioning and application acceptance.
Independent planning guidance for Quuppa infrastructure. Manufacturer names identify the technology; this page does not represent a certified or authorized manufacturer relationship. SRS field work is scoped against approved instructions and the actual delivery team's qualifications.
Match the locator to the approved design
Identify the locator generation and the current mounting procedure. Record orientation and coordinate requirements with the drawing. The installer needs an approved location and method, not just a dot on a floor plan.
- Locator model
- Mounting instruction revision
- Position and orientation reference
- Designer approval
Choose the topology before pricing cabling
Quuppa documents Ethernet-connected locators and Q-Link connectivity options. The platform designer should evaluate the use case and approve the topology. Record the power arrangement for every device even when its data connection is wireless.
- Wired or Q-Link design
- Power schedule
- Network prerequisites
- Approved hub and satellite roles where used
Assign positioning-engine responsibilities
Name the owner of Quuppa Positioning Engine access, configuration and commissioning. Keep field measurements available in the format that owner needs. A device visible on the network has not yet passed the application test.
- QPE owner and access
- Measurement transfer format
- Device discovery procedure
- Commissioning work window
Test the workflow at its difficult edges
Specify the paths, zones and operating conditions for acceptance. Include transitions and obstructions that matter to the buyer. Record the platform owner's result independently from the mounting and cabling signoff.
- Representative movement paths
- Zone transitions
- Recorded positioning exceptions
- Application-owner signoff
Send the drawings, device schedule and acceptance owner
Complete the workbook with your platform designer. Record device quantities, approved mounting points, access constraints and infrastructure dependencies. We use those inputs to define field labor and handoff responsibilities.
Email partners@srsnetworks.com with the site count, states and target work window.
Questions to settle before the crew arrives
Are position and orientation both relevant?
Yes, the selected locator's installation procedure and design should specify both. Record them using the coordinate convention provided by the platform owner.
Should I choose Q-Link for every deployment?
Do not assume that. Quuppa describes different capacity and reliability considerations for wireless connectivity; the designer must approve it for the use case.
Does SRS claim Quuppa certification?
No certification is claimed by this guide. Required credentials and model-specific capability must be verified before the engagement is awarded.
Who accepts tracking performance?
The designated platform or application owner accepts it against the agreed test plan. Installation completion is a separate documented milestone.
What does SRS need to scope the physical work?
Send the site list, states, drawings, device schedule and approved installation instructions. Include access windows and the contact who owns platform commissioning so responsibilities can be agreed before dispatch.
Which costs affect the field estimate?
Mounting access, work windows, pathways, travel, device quantities and readiness gaps affect field labor. Platform licenses, calibration and application integration should be quoted separately by their assigned owners.
How should a pilot become a multi-site deployment?
Accept the pilot against the agreed physical and platform tests before repeating it. Carry forward the approved checklist, record site-specific differences and confirm readiness before each later visit.
What does the scope workbook include?
It records site readiness, device locations, responsibility owners, acceptance checks and cost categories. Complete it with the platform designer and facility owner, then use it to request comparable field estimates.
