Hall Passes & RTLS
Every pass approved, tracked, and timed — automatically
Students request a pass with one button. Staff approve from anywhere. The badge shows a live countdown the whole time a student is out of class — no paper, no kiosk, no guessing.

The Hall Pass View
Everyone can see the same real-time status
The moment a pass is approved, the badge's display replaces the default ID view with the approver's name and photo, the pass status, and where the student is headed — with a live countdown that keeps counting down until they're expected back.
- • Approver name and photo, so it's clear who signed off
- • Origin and destination (e.g. Room 204 → Library)
- • A live countdown timer, visible at a glance

Real-time location
Location accurate enough to trust
Hallway ceiling nodes and classroom plug nodes continuously communicate with nearby badges. That data flows to the PowerPass cloud, which uses Channel Sounding to resolve a badge's position to 10–30cm — precise enough to confirm a student reached the room on their pass.
Hallway ceiling nodes
BLE 6.0 nodes (via a MokoSmart hardware partnership) covering shared spaces.
Classroom plug nodes
BLE 5.4 nodes giving room-level presence for every classroom.
Channel Sounding
Resolves precise position from node signals — 10–30cm accuracy.
Better than a paper slip or a kiosk app
