UWB integrated into mesh network

WiTTRA, the Swedish IoT network specialist, has integrated UWB technology with a mesh network to combine the accuracy of UWB with the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of mesh networking.

WiTTRA’s system centres around a unified network architecture that amalgamates UWB with 6LoWPAN mesh and Mioty LPWAN technologies. This integration supports a tiered positioning accuracy approach, ensuring optimal resource allocation. Businesses can achieve:

– Coarse Positioning

– Medium Positioning

– Fine Positioning

This multi-layered positioning method allows for cost-efficient deployment, with high-precision UWB positioning implemented only where necessary.

WiTTRA’s hybrid approach reduces installation costs by minimising the need for extensive cabling, which traditionally constitutes 80-90% of total system costs.

For example, a typical UWB system installation might cost around $80,000 for a 6,000-square-meter area. WiTTRA’s solution achieves similar coverage for approximately $16,000. This efficiency is a achieved by eliminating the data cabling required in other UWB systems.

WiTTRA’s network supports thousands of third-party sensors, promoting an open ecosystem and reducing vendor lock-in. Key scalability features include:

Support for Third Party Sensors: Enhancing innovation and competitive pricing.

Flexible Deployment: Enabling as-you-grow strategies, beneficial for dynamic operational needs.

Self-Healing and Resilient Network: Ensuring continuous operation even if individual nodes fail.

WiTTRA’s hybrid network aims to overcome the high installation costs and complexity of traditional UWB systems, making advanced RTLS technologies accessible to a broader range of businesses, including SMEs.

Integrating UWB and mesh technologies offers a flexible, scalable, and cost-effective solution for high-accuracy positioning.
