Wireless anchors for asset tracking

A system configured to locate at least one asset tracking tag, the system comprising:

• at least one anchor beacon;
• at least one reader device;
• memory configured to store location information for one or more of the at least one anchor beacon, the at least one reader device, or at least one asset tracking tag;
• and
• one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the one or more processors being configured to:
• obtain one or more beacon signals from the at least one anchor beacon, each of the obtained beacon signals including anchor beacon identification information, each of the obtained beacon signals being associated with a received signal strength upon receipt at the at least one reader device, the anchor beacon identification information being associated with a physical location of the anchor beacon;
• estimate a position of the at least one reader device according to the received signal strength of the one or more beacon signals and the physical location of the at least one anchor beacon from the anchor beacon identification information, wherein the estimation includes a comparison of environmental information of the reader device associated with an ambient environment of the reader device to environmental information of the anchor beacon, the environmental information of the reader device including at least temperature;
• obtain one or more signals from the at least one asset tracking tag;
• and
• identify, by the one or more processors, a location of the at least one asset tracking tag based on the estimated position of the at least one reader device and signal strength information for each of the one or more obtained signals from the at least one asset tracking tag.
