Bluetooth AOA high-precision positioning base station, long-distance

Product Overview

The Quuppa Intelligent Positioning System™ provides powerful engine tools for location-based services and applications. Combining Bluetooth Low Energy® technology, a unique Angle of Arrival signal processing method, and advanced proprietary algorithms, it delivers real-time and accurate position data.

Key Features of the Quuppa System

1. The positioning accuracy provided by the Quuppa system usually reaches 0.5 meters, which is within one meter. The standard Quuppa tags operating on the private frequency band can send data at up to 50 Hz. Even this update rate is insufficient in ice hockey. However, the Quuppa system itself has no limits, and tags can be configured to 200 Hz or even higher, reducing latency to 20 milliseconds or even lower.
2. The Quuppa system is based on Bluetooth® wireless technology and can track any Bluetooth Low Energy® device that sends Quuppa-specific data packets. Android and Apple devices can be tracked by the Quuppa system by adding just a few lines of code to the application.
3. Without the need for a locator, Bluetooth devices can also read the ID number of Quuppa tags. For example, a doctor can use a mobile phone to read the tag number worn by a patient and send a request for important patient information to the cloud service.
4. There is a wide range of tag options, including Quuppa and partner tags, direct use of Quuppa's QT1 module, or designing your own tags using our developed firmware library and circuit diagrams. Basically, with partial software modifications, almost any Bluetooth® device can be tracked by the Quuppa system.
5. Quuppa standard tags are suitable for almost various scenarios. They are lightweight, shockproof, and waterproof, and can be worn with a lanyard or attached to fixtures. However, their design or functions may not be the best choice for all scenarios. If you are interested in developing custom tags, we will provide design materials such as reference circuit diagrams, design drawings, and bill of materials.
6. In addition to positioning, the Quuppa system can also be used as an IoT gateway to receive Bluetooth® sensor data and export these data. As more and more Bluetooth® devices are connected to the IoT, the devices themselves and the surrounding information can be displayed through the Quuppa system. The data from sensors in the IoT can also be received by the Quuppa system and exported through an open and configurable API platform.
7. The Quuppa system can connect to existing systems through pull or push methods, in the form of standard JSON/REST or CSV. The API is open and fully configurable, and comes with an editor that allows you to write your own APIs. The Quuppa API can export various sensor data, including heart rate, gyroscope, compass, magnetometer, barometer, temperature, humidity, and more.
8. Thanks to Bluetooth Low Energy® technology, Quuppa tags consume very little power. The standard QT1-1 model tag can last for 3 years when sending 1 data packet per second, which is approximately 94.6 million times. Using sensor-equipped tags and geofencing that only activate the tags when needed can extend battery life by several years. Generally, battery manufacturers will limit the maximum lifespan of the battery.
9. After installation, the Quuppa system rarely requires maintenance. The system comes with a monitoring function that sends warning messages when abnormalities occur.
10. The locator is equipped with a built-in acceleration sensor. Once touched, the system will detect it immediately, even when offline. The system will also automatically recover when the power is cut off.
11. The Quuppa system is based on Bluetooth® wireless technology and is compatible with standard mobile devices. However, the 2.4 GHz frequency band is particularly crowded, so operating on these bands is not a simple matter. The Quuppa Intelligent Positioning System™ uses advanced proprietary algorithms to provide a powerful and reliable solution even in the harshest environments. For example, in particularly crowded exhibitions or large stadiums, the Quuppa system can avoid electromagnetic interference from other systems. When tracking high-speed moving objects, such as ice hockey players and the puck itself, the Quuppa system can be configured to private frequency band mode, increase the position refresh rate, and avoid interference from other Bluetooth®, WiFi, or wireless earbuds and other wireless devices.
