UWB navigation
Ultra-broadband positioning (UWB positioning) is one of the latest technologies for determining indoor positioning. Navigation accuracy is up to 0.5 meters.
Ultra-Wideband (UWB) is a wireless communication protocol that uses electromagnetic radiation at high frequencies with a wide bandwidth. This allows you to transfer large amounts of data while consuming little energy.
Deploying a navigation solution based on Ultra-Wideband positioning is currently expensive, but it ensures high accuracy in tracking movements in the building.
UWB tracking is mainly used for tracking tangible assets, access to hazardous areas in the enterprise and monitoring the implementation of work processes on site. Helps to increase security.
In sports, UWB navigation allows you to track players on the field, control the location of exhibits in museums and exhibitions, and find goods on shelves faster in warehouses.
Using Ultra Wideband for indoor geo-positioning
Navigation
With the help of UWB technology, it is possible to accurately determine the location of a person in a building and display it on the map of his smartphone screen, with the ability to guide a route to the desired point. Mobile devices that support UWB technology provide an accuracy of up to 0.5 meters in determining the position in a room.
Tracking movements
UWB technology helps to carry out high-precision training of personnel and tangible assets in the premises. The control of hazardous areas, goods in the warehouse, the placement of employees and equipment in production, social distance, movements of the security service, has a positive effect on the overall safety of the facility.
Analytics
The use of solutions based on the UWB protocol allows you to collect highly accurate statistics of user behavior in your enterprise and analyze it using heat maps that visualize the distribution throughout the territory. The analysis of places with critical situations is especially relevant for their further prevention and damage reduction.
UWB positioning technology
UWB is a radio communication protocol that uses wide bandwidth with short pulses with very little power consumption. Ultra-Wideband uses a high repetition rate of short pulses to improve positioning accuracy and data transfer rates that can reach 100 Mbps, making UWB an excellent solution for transmitting information over short distances.
The graph clearly shows the frequency range of UWB in comparison with other positioning technologies. Due to the narrow frequency band, most of the traditional indoor navigation solutions are affected by various third-party interference and obstacles in the form of a large crowd of people in the room, the presence of partitions and columns, reducing data transmission speed and accuracy.
Positioning methods using UWB technology can provide accurate indoor location tracking in real time and can be used in areas such as navigation for the sighted and visually impaired, tool tracking at work, search for victims and the source of danger by emergency services, and more. UWB positioning methods provide the most accurate indoor location estimation (from 0.1 to 0.5 meters). Thus, UWB positioning can be considered one of the most suitable options for mission-critical tracking solutions that require highly accurate results.
