10. Frequently Asked Questions
Please check this forum for more information. Here we will answer the most
common questions
1 What is the proper way to place the beacons?
- The actual distance between beacons must be ≤ 30 m. Provide the line
of sight from one beacon to minimum two others
2 How far can beacons be located from modem?
- In the open space the distance from the modem to the beacon can reach
several hundred kilometers
3 What if hedgehog shown as orange circle or inside
in the Dashboard?
- Blue - normal mode and confident tracking
- Orange - system provides the best location data possible, but
confidence is lower, than blue
- - usually, means lost radio packets or no
ultrasound coverage
4 What is the obstacle for ultrasound?
- The real obstacles for ultrasound are walls (concrete), glass, metal. If
you need to cover a multiple-floor territory you can use our Submap
feature in which case the tracking will not be interrupted
5 How the system works in very low and very high temperatures?
- The optimal conditions for the system is 0 ºС - 40 ºС
6 Are beacons resistant to explosions, dust, dirt, water, noise?
- - Low-frequency noise (motor noise, industrial equipment) does not
interfere with the normal operation of the system
- - We now working on IP67 version of beacon. It can work underwater at
a depth of one meter up to half an hour. It will be fully resistant to dust, t
will have protected housing and sensors
7 Is ultrasound harmful for human?
- We are surrounded by ultrasound impact. For example: parktronic,
automatic doors, security alarms. Ultrasound is not harmful as you used
to think
8 What is the time of delay between positioning the object and
respond?
- The delay is directly proportional to the update rate. For example, if
update rate is 16 Hz delay is 60 ms
9 What if losing hedgehog after 0.6 m
- By default, the service area for mobile beacons is limited and mobile
beacon not positioning far from stationary beacons.
