Fully Integrated UWB RTLS Module

Add UWB RTLS to new or existing products without redesign, reducing development time and complexity.
Ensure interoperability with UWB-enabled enterprise infrastructure, including leading Access Points, for immediate ecosystem compatibility (Omlox and coming soon for Cisco Spaces).
Develop custom or differentiated RTLS solutions using a flexible Zephyr-based software environment.
Achieve reliable, high-performance wireless operation with a fully optimized, tested, and calibrated RF design.
Enable multi-year battery-powered operation with optimized low power consumption.
Support for TDoA and UWB Two-Way ranging architectures, giving flexibility in system design.
Build FiRa™ compliant products to ensure interoperability across the growing UWB ecosystem.
Enable Omlox-compliant industrial tag solutions for standardized, multi-vendor deployments.
Accelerate certification timelines with pre-certified RF design: FCC (USA), ISED (Canada), ETSI (EU), listing pending.

Key Features

IEEE 802.15.4z UWB BPRF compliant, enabling secure and precise ranging.
Aligned with FiRa and omlox standards, allowing development of interoperable or proprietary RTLS solutions.
Supports UWB channels 5 (6.5 GHz) and 9 (8 GHz), ensuring global deployment flexibility.
Integrated Narrow-Band Multi-standard 2.4 GHz radio support (BLE and IEEE 802.15.4) for control, provisioning and hybrid use cases.
High RF link budget and sensitivity, delivering robust performance in challenging environments.
Optional +10 dB transmit power (EU indoor) to extend range and coverage where needed (per CEPT ECC/DEC/(06)04 amendment).
Integrated antennas for UWB and 2.4 GHz, reducing design complexity and BOM effort.
Optional antenna diversity, improving RX sensitivity by up to 8–12 dB for even more reliable connectivity.
SESIP Level 2 Cybersecurity compliance, supporting secure IoT deployments.
Compact 20 x 20 x 3.2 mm form factor, enabling easy integration into space-constrained RTLS Tag designs.
Wide operating conditions (2.5–3.6 V, -40°C to +85°C) for industrial-grade applications.
Castellated module (37 pins, 1.5 mm pitch) for simplified PCB integration and manufacturing.

Typical Applications

High-precision Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) and asset tracking using Uplink TDoA or Two-Way Ranging—enabling real-time visibility of assets and operations.
Last-meter positioning (“Find My Asset”) using FiRa™ compliant UWB with Bluetooth LE for seamless user experiences. Following Apple Nearby Interaction Accessory Protocol and Android equivalent.
Location-aware wireless sensor networks, combining communication and precise ranging in a single infrastructure.
Industrial positioning with omloxTM compliance, ensuring interoperability across multi-vendor RTLS deployments
