UWB Anchors for RTLS

Anchors are electronic (IoT) devices that are statically fixed in the environment and are used to determine the location of UWB Tags. They recieve the signals emitted by the tags and forward the data to the localisation server.

Unlike traditional Wi-Fi or Bluetooth beacons, UWB anchors provide centimeter-level accuracy in real-time location tracking. They are essential for creating a precise and reliable Real-Time Location System (RTLS).

Anchors can participate in two types of localisation algorithm schemes, created by TagTrack:

  • 2D scheme - Anchors are placed on the ceiling or walls, and they triangulate the position of the tags in a two-dimensional plane. This is suitable for environments like warehouses or offices where height is not a critical factor.
  • 3D scheme - Anchors are placed at follor and ceiling level, allowing for three-dimensional tracking. This is ideal for environments with multiple levels, such as multi-story buildings or complex industrial sites, malls, familiy entertainment centers, etc.

TagTrack's RTLS is designed to be flexible and scalable, allowing you to choose the best localisation scheme or combination of shcemes for your specific use case.

Long Range

TagTrack Anchors have a special harware signal filter and signal extending system on a chip that enables it to extend its line of sight.

High Accuracy

Along with Tags, the Anchors provide real-time location with 30cm accuracy, and almost real-time filtered data with accuracy of 10cm.

Unlimited Scalability

TagTrack RTLS works on TDoA (Time Difference of Arrival) localisation method, that allows you to add as many tags you need in your area.

Automated Synchronization

Combined with the adminsitration panel of the server, the Anchors can be automatically synchronized with each other, ensuring easy support and system scaling.

Facilitated Maintenace

The Anchors are designed to be easily maintained and serviced. They can be updated over-the-air (OTA) with new firmware, and their hardware components can be replaced or upgraded as needed. An LED indicator on the PCB shows the status of the Anchor and helps with troubleshooting.

Anchor Features

  • GPIO General Purpose Input & Output (GPIO) Pins on the PCB of the tag to help you extend its functionalities for your needs.
  • BARO Low noise and high accuracy baromether is used for the Kalman Filter of the 3D positioning and the sensor fusion.
  • PoE Power Over Ethernet (PoE) makes it possible to power the Anchors and communicate with them with a single cable.
  • WiFi While we usually recommend using the ethernet cable, connecting to the Anchors via WiFi is also possible.
  • SPI Bus For integrating external PCB modules.
  • I2C Bus For integrating external PCB modules.
  • UART For integrating external PCB modules & debugging.
