Parameter
Technical Specifications
Distance between
beacons
- Reaches up to 50 meters and up to 100 meters with horn under laboratory conditions (Mini-
RX or Super-Beacon to Super-Beacon with RX4 only)
- Recommended distance is 30 meters (Transducer4 on the first beacon is looking straight at
the Transducer4 on the second beacon, other transducers are switched off)
Coverage area
- Reaches up to 1000m
2
with the Starter Set configurations
- Coverage for larger territories is provided using submap – like cells in cellular networks
Location precision
- Absolute: 1–3% of the distance to the beacons
- Differential precision: ±2cm
Location update
rate
- 1/20Hz to 25Hz (Ultrasonic based only)
- 100Hz with ultrasonic + IMU fusion enabled (Only for Beacons HW v4.9-IMU-Discontinued)
- Can be set manually via Dashboard software
- Depends on the distance between mobile and stationary beacons (shorter distance—
higher update rate)
- Depends on the number of mobile beacons (Non-Inverse Architecture; for Inverse
Architecture no such dependency)
- Depends on the radio profile (500kbps, 153kbps, 38kbps)
- Slightly depends on the number of stationary beacons—dependence is not the same as for
mobile beacons
Power supply
Internal: 1000mAh LiPo battery (Super-Beacon)
- Battery lifetime: from 2 days to several months depending on the mode of operations

External: micro USB – recommended for permanent use
Weight
Mobile beacon (Super-Beacon) from the starter set:
- 59 grams (including 1000mAh battery, Super-Beacon housing and 50mm antenna)
- 27 grams (Super-Beacon, bare board w/o battery)
*For other types of beacons look to the comparison table
Beacon size
Size: 55x55x33mm (with 50mm antenna: 55x55x65mm) (Super-Beacon)
