Ubisense – Ultra-wideband In-Building Location System – Ubisensor V1.0
Introduction
The Ubisensor V1.0 is a basestation used by the Ubisense In-Building Location System, which
supports the real-time location of objects within buildings. It detects ultra-wideband (UWB) pulses
emitted by wireless tags (Ubitags) located inside the building, allowing the 3D position of the tag
to be found. The use of UWB technology enables greater positioning accuracy within buildings
than other wireless technologies, because it is much less susceptible to multipath interference
effects. Applications of the system include healthcare, workplace productivity, security, retail
management and manufacturing.
This document describes the features and specifications of the Ubisensor, important regulatory
information concerning its use, and details on how to diagnose potential problems.
