From Ekahau Wi-Fi Design documentation

Assets and people can be accurately tracked using a standard Wi-Fi network toimprove safety and to locate assets quickly when necessary. Ekahau Site Surveyfully integrates with Ekahau Real-Time Location System. This allows you to useyour existing site survey data to be used for calibrating the location system. Toenable the location tracking features, check the Enable RTLS Features checkboxunder File > Preferences. After re-starting the software, go to the Help menu, andopen the Ekahau Site Survey Guide for Deploying RTLS for more information aboutthe RTLS Features.
