MeshCube
MeshCube is a revolutionary location and tracking platform. MeshCube uses Wirepas Mesh 2.4GHz technology, that provides a robust, reliable and self-healing wireless connectivity infrastructure. Thanks to its ultra-low-power consumption, MeshCube enables fully battery-operated tracking with years of battery life, making it ideal for retrofit installations. Its cable-less architecture reduces design, installation and wiring costs to almost zero: MeshCube is the tracking platform with the lower total cost of ownership (TCO) on the market.
MeshCube uses a positioning engine specifically designed by BlueUp that, using RSSI values and motion information of the tag, within advanced trilateration algorithms, provides an estimate of the tag position with adequate accuracy for a wide set of use cases.
Architecture
- Battery-powered anchors are installed at fixed positions, possibly on a regular grid. Different types of anchors are available, for ceiling or wall installation, for indoor or outdoor. Anchors self-organize into a mesh network, where just one or a few mesh gateways (sinks of the network) are needed to interface with the local area network or the Internet.
- Moving tags periodically scan for nearby anchors and forward this information through the mesh network, to the mesh gateway.
- Mesh Gateway gathers information coming from the devices and forwards them to thre MeshCube software.
- Information coming from tags is acquired from the positioning engine (BPE, BlueUp Positioning Engine) embedded into MeshCube software. Software can be installed either on premises or on cloud, depending on project requirements. MeshCube include a web-based user interface for project management and monitoring, and provides open APIs allowing an easy and straightforward integration with end-application.
