Transducer4 looking straight at each other and other transducers are off)
Coverage
area
- Reach up to 1000 m
2
with the Starter Set configurations
- Coverage for larger territories is 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 the mobile and stationary beacons (shorter distance—higher
update rate)
- Depends on the number of mobile beacons (update rate of 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—different than for mobile beacons
Power supply
Internal: LiPol battery 1000mAh
- Battery lifetime depends on usage
- Stationary beacon with 16Hz update rate => up to 72h (tested).
- Stationary beacon with 1Hz update rate => ~72h*16 => 1 month
- Mobile beacon with 8Hz update rate – 12h (tested)
External: micro USB – recommended for permanent use
