For applications with the highest accuracy requirements, a real-time locating system based on ultra-wideband technology can be a good solution. It consists of mobile transmitters (UWB beacons) and stationary receivers.
This UWB receiver is the building block of a typical UWB system. Simply install three or more devices in your building and start triangulating positions. The signal range is about 40 m. With PoE, the device needs only a single Ethernet cable for power and data. In addition to the standard version in an IP42 indoor housing, there is also an IP65-rated outdoor version.
The receiver communicates with the corresponding UWB beacons and measures the distance in mm. This raw data can either be processed directly or fed into our IoT-Engine middleware, where an XY position is calculated.
