Comparison
The Salvus Network vs Litum (2026)
The Salvus Network and Litum both deliver real-time personnel location, but Salvus runs on Anchors and Tags that read every person at the points that matter — so you get zone awareness without funnelling people through choke points — with transparent per-site pricing, UK data residency and a live operator console you can see working in the first meeting. Litum is a UWB-first RTLS platform strong on metre-level precision but typically requires denser hardware and bespoke pricing.

What the table means.
Litum is an established real-time location provider built primarily around UWB (ultra-wideband) anchors and tags. It excels where metre-level precision is essential, such as forklift-pedestrian collision avoidance in warehouses.
The Salvus Network is built for UK major-hazard sites governed by COMAH, DSEAR and CDM. Its Anchors read every Tag at gates, muster points and restricted-zone thresholds, giving an auditable, timestamped picture of every worker, asset and zone in real time.
The verdict
Choose Litum if metre-level precision is your single most important requirement and you can invest in dense UWB infrastructure. Choose The Salvus Network if you need auditable personnel accountability and evacuation across a hazardous UK site, want zone awareness without turnstiles, and value transparent pricing with UK data residency.
Frequently asked questions
Does Salvus offer UWB precision like Litum?+
Yes — the Enterprise RTLS tier adds UWB for metre-level precision where a site needs it. Most compliance and mustering use cases are fully served by Anchor-and-Tag zone awareness.
Which is faster to deploy?+
The Salvus Network runs a live evacuation demo on your own site map within 24 hours. Full deployment scope depends on site size; the Salvus network typically needs fewer fixed Anchors than a dense UWB grid.
