Abstract
A graphical management system includes a web browser application communicatively coupled to a web service and a graphical management module over a network and a plurality of wireless devices (e.g., RFID readers, access ports, etc.) coupled to the network and having one or more associated antennae. The wireless devices are configured to process data received from a plurality of RF elements (mobile units, 802.11 devices, RF tags, etc.) within range of the antennae. An RF switch coupled to the network is configured to receive the data and transmit the data to the graphical management module, which provides to the web service graphical information relating to the state of the RF elements (e.g., location information, heat maps, intrusion detection, self-healing status, etc.)
