Ubisense Tag Module Research Package
Real-time location system development package

Overview
The Ubisense Tag Module Research Package is an out-of-the-box,
Real-time Location System (RTLS) that can be used to track and
locate assets and personnel to an accuracy of 15cm* in 3D in realtime. It is an all-inclusive solution for RTLS system development or
an entry level pilot system.
The research package has been put together to enable a fast-track
into applications and systems design where location accuracy,
reliability and scalability will be key to delivering industrial strength
operational systems. It includes tag modules which can be used to
incorporate precise location tracking functionality into other devices.
As part of our commitment to academic success, the Tag Module
Research Package is also available to provide qualified students,
faculty, and accredited institutions of higher learning a research and
development system at a discounted price. Please contact Ubisense
for more details.

Operation
Ubisense tags transmit ultra-wideband (UWB) pulses of extremely
short duration which are received by the sensors and used to
determine where the tag is located using a unique combination of
Time-Difference-of-Arrival (TDoA) and Angle-of-Arrival (AoA)
techniques. The use of UWB together with the unique AoA and TDoA
functionality ensures both high accuracy and reliability of operation in
challenging environments.
Sensors are grouped into cells with additional sensors being added to
a cell depending on the geometry of the area to be covered. In each
cell a master sensor coordinates the activities of the other sensors
and communicates with all the tags whose location is detected within
the cell. By designing overlapping cells, it is possible to cover very
large areas.

*Dependent on system configuration and environment.
