SKYLAB UWB Indoor Positioning and Tracking Solution

The high-precision UWB positioning tracker system developed by SKYLAB adopts the TDOA high-precision positioning algorithm. It supports positioning accuracy of up to 10 cm and can be applied to 0-dimensional presence detection, one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional positioning modes. It is suitable for positioning, tracking, and navigation of indoor stationery or moving people or objects.

The architecture of SKYLAB UWB High Accuracy Indoor Positioning System consists of UWB Anchor, UWB tags, positioning engine, and terminal display device.

(1) UWB Anchor: UWB Indoor Positioning System requires that the UWB Anchor should be installed in the positioning area in advance. The Anchor communicates with tags through the UWB signal to achieve location function.

(2) UWB Tag: The person or asset that needs to be positioned must wear or be tied with the UWB tag. The tag transmits a UWB signal to communicate with UWB Anchor, after calculated by the location engine, the tag can be positioned.

(3) Location Engine: UWB Anchor send the original data to the location engine through the network in real-time, location engine runs an algorithm that calculates the coordinate position of the tag in real-time.

(4) Display Terminal: The positioning coordinates of the tag calculated by the location engine are generally displayed on a terminal which may be any device with a browser, such as a PC computer, tablet, or mobile phone.
