For applications with the highest accuracy demands, a real-time localization system based on ultra-wideband technology working in the 6-7 GHz range can be a good fit. This consists of mobile senders (UWB Beacons) and stationary receivers with known positions.
This UWB Receiver is the building block of a typical UWB system. Just install three or more devices in your building and start triangulating positions. The signal range is around 40m. With PoE, the device only needs a single Ethernet cable to get power and data. Besides the standard version in an IP42 indoor housing, there is also an IP65-rated version for dirty or wet environments.
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.
