• 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 RealTime Location Engine(RTLE) Management Interface Source Code - Price: $2,500 USD

The real-time location engine (RTLE) management interface is a server-side system written in Java based on the Spring framework. The frontend uses Openlayers as the UI.

The main function:

Define each location area, place the anchor on the map, and customize the base map.

Output the tag coordinates calculated by the location engine and display the location of each tag on the map in the form of an icon.

The software itself does not have much technical content, it is just a simple BS system based on Spring MVC architecture.

To achieve it, it just requires a lot of work.

The development environment uses Eclipse/Java 8, and it should be possible to develop on Idea.
