Flexible technical architectures for Ubudu hybrid RTLS

Ubudu's UWB technology utilises the time difference of arrival (TDoA) of signals received by multiple anchors from the tag to accurately measure the distance and calculate the tag's position using multi-lateration. Experience the precise positioning capabilities of Ubudu's UWB TDoA for advanced location-based applications and optimised tracking accuracy.

UWB Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) uses the difference in the time of arrival of the signal received by different anchors from the tag to measure the distance of the tag to the anchors and compute a position through trilateration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there something you need to know?

01

What technology has the highest accuracy for RTLS?

Icone plus

UWB TDoA has the highest accuracy and can compute positions up to a 20-30 cm accuracy of thousands of tags simultaneously.

02

What radio frequencies are used in RTLS ?

Icone plus

BLE frequency is 2.4GHz.
UWB supports 9 RF bands from 3.5 GHz to 9 GHz. We typically use channel 5 at 6.48 Mhz.
LoRa frequency for Europe is 868MHz.

03

Why is UWB outperforming other technologies ? 

Icone plus

Impulse radio UWB (Ultra Wide Band) outperforms other technologies because it is very short impulsions concentrate energy and are therefore more immune to multi-path and interferences that narrow band technologies such as BLE and Wifi.

04

Does Ubudu RTLS uses other sensors to estimate positions ? 

Icone plus

Ubudu tags typically integrates an accelerometer or eventually even an IMU that can be used in conjunction with RF signals to estimate position of tags. In our mobile SDK we leverage all sensors from smartphones (GPS for outdoor, accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, barometer). All sensors data and RF localisation techniques are fused with particle filtering algorithm methods (a set of Monte Carlo algorithms used to solve filtering problems arising in signal processing and Bayesian statistical inference).
