This is a Starter Set supporting Inverse Architecture (IA) with 2D tracking (XY). Ideal for tracking warehouse workers with extra DSP RX Beacons
In the Inverse Architecture (IA), stationary beacons emit ultrasound and mobile beacons receive it. Thus, it is possible to have multiple mobile beacons without update rate reduction per mobile beacon. unlike in Non-Inverse where the mobile beacons emit and the stationary beacons receive only, making non inverse architecture better suited to noisy environments such as onboard drones.
The HW supports both 915MHz (the US – ISM license-free band) and 868MHz (the EU – SRD license-free band). The right radio band can be selected by radio settings inside the Dashboard.
Included
- 1 x DSP RX Beacons 915/868MHz as mobile beacons (Beacon Mini RX)
- 2 x Stationary Beacon TX with IMU 915/868 MHz as stationary beacons
- 1 x Modem HW v4.9 915/868 MHz
Specifications
Distance between beacons
- Reach up to 50 meters in lab conditions
- Recommended distance is 30 meters (Transducer of Beacon HW v4.9 looking straight at Beacon DSP HW v5.xx)
- Range of stable tracking of DSP beacon + Beacon HW v4.9 is 20-50% bigger than the range of Beacon HW v4.9 + Beacon HW v4.9 in the same conditions
Coverage area
- Reach up to 1000 m2 with the Starter Set configurations
- Coverage for larger territories is similar to cellular networks
Location precision
- Absolute: 1–3% of the distance to the beacons
- Differential precision: ±2 cm
- Differential precision is on par or better than in the Beacon HW v4.9, partially, because the sensor is a point – not as spread sensors of HW v4.9; and, partially, because of higher processing power and more advanced algorithms of the DSP beacon
Location update rate
Inverse Architecture:
- 0.05–25Hz. With IMU fusion enabled – up to 100Hz
- Can be set manually or in automatic mode
- Depends on the distance between the mobile and stationary beacons (shorter distance — higher update rate)
- Doesn’t depend on the number of mobile beacons – all of them are receiving
- Depends on the radio interface profile (500kbps vs. 38kbps)
Power supply and battery lifetime
Internal:
- LiPo battery 750mAh
- Battery lifetime totally depends on usage
- Stationary beacon with 8Hz update rate => up to 30h
- Stationary beacon with 1Hz update rate => 1 week
- Future power saving features may increase battery life to 1year and more
External:
- microUSB – recommended for permanent use
Weight
- 25g (board + battery + plastic housing)
- 9g (board only)
