1. A system for tag polling, the system comprising:
a tag associated with an asset;
an anchor configured to poll the tag at a first transmission rate and determine an angle-of-arrival (AOA) based on signal data received from the tag; and
a server communicatively coupled with the anchor, the server being configured to:
receive first information corresponding to the tag, the first information being indicative of one or more first instances where the anchor polls the tag at a second transmission rate that is different from the first transmission rate,
receive, from the anchor, a tag listing that includes the tag,
determine a first instance occurrence for the tag based on the first information, and
transmit a request to the anchor that causes the anchor to poll the tag at the second transmission rate.
