Products

Badge1 is a work card type electronic tag designed for the positioning system based on Bluetooth AoA algorithm, which is suitable for all kinds of personnel positioning scenes. Personnel wearing it can be located and tracked in real time by the positioning system compatible with it.

The product is compact and lightweight, with a thickness of only 4.4mm. The outer casing is welded with ultrasonic technology at the seams and is waterproof and dustproof up to IP65. the built-in 550mAh Li-ion battery lasts up to 2-3 years or more[1] .

This product integrates ST Microelectronics® acceleration sensor, which can output the three-axis acceleration data of the electronic card in real time. It also integrates an NFC smart card, which is compatible with most access control systems or consumer card systems, realizing a true one-card system for positioning, access control and consumption.

• Depending on the transmit frequency and transmit power and in combination with the built-in accelerometer configuration.

Key features of the Quuppa system

1. Quuppa systems provide positioning accuracy typically to 0.5 meters, or less than one meter; Quuppa systems use private frequency bands, and standard Quuppa tags can be sent at frequencies up to 50 Hz. In hockey, even this update rate is still insufficient. The Quuppa system itself, however, has no limitations, and tags can be configured for 200 Hz or even higher, with latency reduced to 20 milliseconds or less.
2. The Quuppa system is based on Bluetooth® wireless technology and can track any low-power Bluetooth® device that sends Quuppa-specific packets. Android and Apple devices can be tracked by the Quuppa system with just a few lines of code added to the application.
3. The ID number of the Quuppa tag can be read by a Bluetooth-enabled device without the need for a locator. For example, a doctor can use a cell phone to read the number of a tag worn by a patient and send a request to a cloud service for important patient information.
4. There is a wide choice of tags, from Quuppa and partner tags, to using Quuppa's QT1 module directly, or designing your own tags using the firmware libraries and circuit diagrams we have developed. Basically, with partial modifications to the software, Bluetooth® devices can be tracked by the Quuppa system.
5. Quuppa standard tags are suitable for almost every application. Lightweight, shockproof and waterproof, they can be worn on a lanyard or attached to a fixture. However, the design or functionality is not always optimal for all scenarios. If you are interested in developing a customized tag, we will provide design information such as reference circuit diagrams, design drawings, and bills of materials.
6. In addition to localization, the Quuppa system can also be used as an IoT gateway, receiving Bluetooth® sensor data and exporting this data. As more and more Bluetooth® devices are connected to the IoT, the devices themselves, together with information about their surroundings, can be displayed by the Quuppa system. Data from sensors in the IoT can also be received by the Quuppa system and exported via an open and configurable API platform.
7. The Quuppa system can be plugged into legacy systems via pull or push, in standard JSON/REST or CSV form. the API is open and fully configurable, and comes with an editor to write your own API. the Quuppa API can export a wide range of sensor data, including heart rate, gyroscope, compass, magnetometer, barometer, temperature, humidity, and much more.
8. Thanks to low-power Bluetooth® technology, Quuppa tags consume very little power. The standard QT1-1 model tag can last up to three years, or about 94.6 million packets per second. Using on-board sensors and geo-fencing to activate the tag only when needed can extend battery life by years. Typically, battery manufacturers limit the maximum life of the battery
9. Once installed, the Quuppa system requires very little maintenance. The system comes with a monitoring feature that will send warning messages when something is out of the ordinary.
10. The locator is equipped with a built-in acceleration sensor, which senses a touch immediately, including when it is offline. The system also repairs itself when 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 bands are particularly crowded, so operating in these bands is not a simple matter.The Quuppa Intelligent Positioning System™ uses advanced, proprietary algorithms to provide a robust and reliable solution in even the most challenging environments. For example, at particularly crowded trade shows, in large stadiums, the Quuppa system is protected from electromagnetic interference from other systems. When tracking high-speed moving objects, such as hockey players and pucks, the Quuppa system can be configured to private band mode, cranking up the positional refresh rate and shielding it from interference from other wireless devices such as Bluetooth®, WiFi or wireless headsets.
