Comparison
The Salvus Network vs Litum (2026)
The Salvus Network and Litum both deliver real-time personnel location, but Salvus runs on Safety Detection Points and safety tags that detect 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.

| Metre-level precision (UWB) | ||
| Live evacuation & mustering | ||

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 Safety Detection Points detect every safety tag at gates, muster points and restricted-zone thresholds, giving an auditable, timestamped picture of where people were last detected 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 tier adds UWB for metre-level precision where a site needs it. Most compliance and mustering use cases are fully served by Safety Detection Point zone awareness.
Which is faster to deploy?+
A guided live walk-through shows you the platform in action before you commit. Full deployment scope depends on site size; the Salvus network typically needs fewer fixed Safety Detection Points than a dense UWB grid.
