OVERVIEW
The Ubisense Academic 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 real‐time. It is
an all‐inclusive solution for RTLS system development.
The academic 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.
As part of our commitment to academic success, the Ubisense
Research Package is 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.

Area covered by location system

A simple four sensor Ubisense system 

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.
