Key capabilities:
Parameter Technical Specifications
Distance between beacons Up to 50 meters in lab conditions; Recommended distance in real-life - 30 meters
(Transducer4 to Transducer4 looking straight to each other and other transducers
are off)
Coverage area Up to 1000 m
2
for Starter Set configuration
Coverage for larger territories done similar to cellular networks
Location precision
- Absolute: 1-3% of the distance to the beacons
- Differential precision: ±2 cm
Location update rate
- 0.5-45Hz
- Can be set manually
- Depends on the distance between mobile and stationary beacons (shorter
distance – higher update rate)
- Depends on the number of mobile beacons (update rate for 25Hz for 1 mobile
beacon => 25Hz/2 for 2 mobile beacons and 25Hz/3 for 3 mobile beacons)
- Depends on the radio interface profile (500kbps vs. 38kbps)
- Slightly depends on the number of stationary beacons – not like for mobile
beacons
Power supply
Internal: LiPol battery 1000mAh
- Battery lifetime totally depends on the usage
- Stationary beacon with 16Hz update rate => up to 72h (tested). With 1Hz
update rate => ~72h*16 => 1 month
-
Mobile beacon with 8Hz update rate – 12h (tested)
External: microUSB – recommended for permanent use
