Press Release
WiTTRA Revolutionizes Positioning Networks with Hybrid UWB and Mesh Technology.
Stockholm 8th August – WiTTRA, a leader in innovative positioning solutions, proudly announces its pioneering approach to positioning networks by integrating Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology with a robust mesh network. This hybrid solution is set to redefine the landscape of real-time location systems (RTLS) by combining the unparalleled accuracy of UWB with the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of mesh networking.
Unified Network Architecture
WiTTRA’s advanced system centres around a unified network architecture that amalgamates UWB with 6LoWPAN mesh and Mioty LPWAN technologies. This integration supports a tiered positioning accuracy approach, ensuring optimal resource allocation. Businesses can achieve:
– Coarse Positioning
– Medium Positioning
– Fine Positioning
This multi-layered positioning method allows for cost-efficient deployment, with high-precision UWB positioning implemented only where necessary.
Cost and Installation Efficiency
WiTTRA’s hybrid approach significantly reduces installation costs by minimizing the need for extensive cabling, which traditionally constitutes 80-90% of total system costs. For example, a typical UWB system installation might cost around $80,000 for a 6,000-square-meter area. WiTTRA’s solution achieves similar coverage for approximately $16,000, presenting a considerable cost saving. This efficiency is a achieved by eliminating the data cabling required in other UWB systems.
Scalability and Flexibility
WiTTRA’s network supports thousands of third-party sensors, promoting an open ecosystem and reducing vendor lock-in. Key scalability features include:
– Support for Third Party Sensors: Enhancing innovation and competitive pricing.
– Flexible Deployment: Enabling as-you-grow strategies, beneficial for dynamic operational needs.
– Self-Healing and Resilient Network: Ensuring continuous operation even if individual nodes fail.
Market Position and Future Prospects
WiTTRA’s hybrid network is set to lead the market with its flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and scalability. By overcoming the high installation costs and complexity of traditional UWB systems, WiTTRA makes advanced RTLS technologies accessible to a broader range of businesses, including SMEs. This approach not only meets current industry demands but also paves the way for future advancements in modern asset management.
WiTTRA’s innovative hybrid positioning network, integrating UWB and mesh technologies, offers a flexible, scalable, and cost-effective solution for high-accuracy positioning. By addressing traditional UWB limitations and providing a versatile infrastructure, WiTTRA is poised to transform the RTLS landscape, making advanced positioning technologies more accessible and practical for a wide range of applications.
