AccuRTLS

AccuRTLS is an advanced solution for tracking and locating BLE devices, based on Quuppa Intelligent Locating System, a powerful patented AoA (Angle-of-Arrival) technology platform for real-time tracking with sub-meter accuracy.
AccuRTLS uses powerful locators, with planar array antennas, that can calculate the direction of arrival (both elevation and azimuth angle) of the signal broadcasted by BLE devices. With the determined angle of arrival and known exact position of the antennas, the localization system computes the exact location of the BLE devices using advanced triangulation algorithms.
AccuRTLS uses standard BLE advertising packet broadcast; thus, it can be used with Quuppa-compatible tags and sensors, but also with BLE-enabled devices, like smartphones

Architecture

  • Fixed antennas are installed at precise positions inside the environment where localization is required.
    Quuppa locators are connected through a dedicated local PoE LAN (with PoE switch) to a local server where Quuppa Positioning Engine (QPE) os installed. QPE integrates advanced algorithms based on triangulation that allows to compute tag position from the angle-of-arrival information from each antenna. QPE provides REST APIs in standard JSON format that allows to get tag(s) position in real time.
  • All moving Quuppa tags from BlueUp support the entire set of Quuppa functionality, including use of proprietary channels, back-channel communication for configuration and commanding, OTA FW update.
  • AccuRTLS SW suite includes Quuppa Positioning Engine (QPE) and APIs. QPE is the core of the tracking system, and uses signal direction information for triangulation.
