- UWB Dev Kit
- TSSR250
DCU150 is based on the NXP Trimension™ SR150 UWB IC, primarily designed for Anchor solutions in RTLS Systems, and includes 3 embedded PCB antennas, power management, clock control, filters, and peripheral components. With DCU 150, no RF design is required.
Key features
- Easier design integration – no RF design expertise required;
- The only SR150 module with already 3 pcb RF Antennas in the market;
- Objects location in RTLS to a secure range precision of 10 cm and an angle precision of 3 degrees.
Fully interoperable with IEEE® 802.15.4 HRP UWB standard.
The DCU040 module is based on the NXP Trimension™ SR040 UWB TAG-IC, primarily designed for UWB tags, and includes power management, clock control, filters, and peripheral components. With 1 embedded PCB antenna, it will be straightforward to use in customers' final designs.
Key features
- Easier design integration – no RF design
- Low power consumption to support coin cell battery
- High-precision positioning applications with a non-Line-of-Sight precision of ±10cm
- Secure
The UWB Dev Kit V.Mobile is designed to connect either UWB modules in an anchor/tag configuration or a UWB enabled Mobile Phone with UWB modules. The Kit allows for demonstrating the positioning in locating modules operating in TWR (Two-Way-Ranging) mode. Additionally, it can help build and evaluate Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) using TDoA (Time-Difference-of-Arrival) mode.
Key features
HW
- Vulkano Ev Kit including: 1 x DCU 150 & 1 x DCU 040 Adapter pluggable Boards;
- T-TAG: Programmable TAG;
SW
Truesense Software Development Kit includes:
- Firmware implementing a very simple, yet complete, API based on AT commands exposed over UART port, thus allowing for super easy integration with legacy devices.
- Usage examples of AT commands are provided to demonstrate a wide range of use cases.
- Source code of both iOS and Android UWB enabled apps to interact with the Kit from a mobile phone.
TSRR250 is based on the NXP Trimension™ SR250 and supports either UWB RTLS Systems or UWB Radar applications. It includes 3 embedded PCB Antennas + 1 Radar antenna, power management, clock control, BPF filter, and peripheral components.
Key features
- No RF design required;
- Range precision: +/- 5 cm distance & 3º of angle;
- Advanced Radar sensing with ML/AI applications such as:
- Breathing & Apnea Monitoring;
- Fall Detection;
- Behavior Analysis;
- It supports 360º for 2 Way Ranging thanks to its 3 connectors for a 7 antennas kit add on.
