• a plurality of beacons being deployed at known positions in the selected area and being in wireless communication with the master radio, the beacons being configured to transmit a beacon signal responsive to instructions from the master radio,
• a tag associated with the resource, the tag being configured to receive the beacon signals and operable to measure an attribute of the beacons signals and to transmit a tag signal to the master radio, the tag signal including the identity of the tag, the measured attribute of the beacon signals and the identity of the beacons corresponding to the beacon signals;
• and
• a location processor linked to the master radio, the location processor configured to receive the tag signal from the master radio and operable to determine the location of the resource from the tag signal.
