• Product Overview

    The A101 is a high-precision Real-Time Locating System (RTLS) anchor utilizing Ultra-Wideband (UWB) wireless communication technology. Featuring a sleek ceiling-mount industrial design, it is optimized for high-precision indoor positioning across various sectors. The system supports the TDOA architecture, delivering a typical positioning accuracy of 10–30 cm.

    The A101 offers exceptional architectural flexibility, functioning as either a synchronization transmitter for Downlink TDOA or a receiving terminal for Uplink TDOA. In Downlink mode, the A101 supports autonomous offline operation, significantly reducing dependency on network infrastructure.

    Key Features

    1. Dual-Mode Support: Compatible with both Uplink and Downlink TDOA architectures to meet diverse business requirements.

    2. Precision Clock Synchronization: Utilizes proprietary synchronization technology to maintain a time error between anchors of less than 0.6 ns, ensuring centimeter-level stability.

    3. Flexible Networking: Equipped with built-in Wi-Fi; supports autonomous offline operation when configured as a Downlink TDOA anchor.

    4. Simplified Deployment: Features a standard USB Type-C 5V power interface, compatible with common 5V/1A power adapters to simplify onsite wiring.

    5. Smart Management: Supports USB HID for initial local configuration and network-based remote parameter tuning.

    6. IP Management: Supports both DHCP for automatic IP allocation and static IP assignment.

    7. Auto-Discovery: Capable of automatic discovery by the positioning engine.

    8. Standards Compliance: Each device features a unique EUI-64 ID; supports PAN ID filtering to exclude irrelevant UWB packets; fully compliant with IEEE 802.15.4-2011 standards.

    9. Advanced RF Tuning: Configurable UWB parameters including preamble length, PRF, and PAC to adapt to complex multi-path environments.

    10. Maintenance & Monitoring: Supports Over-the-Air (OTA) firmware updates; features an integrated status LED with adjustable brightness.

UWB Location Dual Network Port Outdoor Anchor A1108 Baseboard Circuit Diagram and PCB Diagram - Price: $300

A1108 is based on the dual network port anchor A1106P. It adds a high-brightness LED light according to the characteristics of the outdoor environment.

Like the A1106P, there are network switch chips and POE power supply chips, which can connect multiple anchors in a series to save wiring costs and POE switch ports.

Use STM32F103RET6 as the main control MCU, W5500 as the network interface, TPS23753APW as the POE power receiver, MAX5980 as the POE power supply chip, and IP175 network switch chip.

Please note that only AD project files are provided, and there is no STM32 firmware source code. If you need the firmware source code, please click here:  UWB Location Anchor Firmware Source Code - Price: $7,500 USD

Please note that only the circuit and PCB of the outdoor anchor backboard are included, and the circuit of the UWB module is not included. Because the original UWB module DWM1000 uses a ceramic antenna, it cannot be used outdoors. The outdoor version of the anchor can only use external antennas. Therefore, either the DWM1000 module is modified and an SMA socket is installed, or another UWB module is designed. We have an external antenna version of the UWB module, please click here: UWB Module UM2000 Circuit Diagram and PCB - Price: $450 USD

We provide the following 3 versions of AD project files:
