Ranging and Localization Kit

You’ll be measuring 1D distances with centimeter-scale precision within minutes and could have a flexible and configurable 2D/3D location network up and running in a single afternoon.  The Kit comes bundled with our RangeNet software that allows for the easy configuration of advanced radio networks with P452s utilized as both the fixed anchors and the mobile units. The intuitive GUI allows users to easily visualize what is happening in the network and smooths the transition to working directly with the RangeNet API to create custom systems.

RangeNet lets the user engage at the level that is right for them. The ranging layer uses a Two-Way Time-of-Flight (TW-TOF) ranging conversation to measure distance with high precision. The networking layer automates the ranging process and allows users the option of creating custom networks which support random access or synchronous time-based/code-based scheduling. The location layer takes those coordinated range measurements and converts them into real-time 2D or 3D locations. The mobiles initiate the ranging conversations and calculate their own positions without the need for a connected host, which is ideal for the autonomous navigation of vehicles and robots.

RangeNet also turns your PC or laptop into a digitizing oscilloscope – allowing you to display waveforms in real-time and log them to disk for post-processing analysis.  This is especially useful for characterizing performance in challenging, high mulitpath environments.
