What it does

Ultra Wideband (UWB) Beacons are small, battery-powered radio transmitters that can be attached to walls or things. Nearby devices that are UWB-enabled and have compatible apps can connect to the beacons and compute precise distance and angle.

Help people navigate buildings, locate equipment and understand room occupancy. Explore Estimote indoor location hardware, software and developer kits.

Spaces should be intelligent and things should magically happen at the right place and at the right time. It is a next-generation operating system that you install on your physical spaces. It makes them intelligent and programmable. You can run apps and create prompts directly on your physical business. Install anchors on walls or ceilings to help compatible phones find their position indoors. Use them for directions through airports, hospitals and stores. UWB anchors are fixed devices that send radio signals from known locations. A compatible phone compares when those signals arrive to work out its own position inside the building. The technique is called downlink time difference of…from estimote.com
