Products

LandingSite® Electronic Tag Candy1 is an electronic tag specially designed for indoor positioning system based on Precision Bluetooth AoA technology. It is designed for indoor positioning system based on Precision Bluetooth AoA technology. It can be used to locate people in real time while they are wearing it.

This product utilizes the Nordic Semiconductor® nRF52832 core as the SoC for powerful performance. The integrated ST Microelectronics® LIS3DH acceleration sensor outputs real-time 3-axis acceleration data from electronic tags.

It is compact and lightweight, with a diameter of about 1.3 times that of a human dollar coin and a thickness of only 9 millimeters. The outer casing is welded at the seams using ultrasonic technology and is water and dust resistant to IP67 or higher. The built-in 225mAh CR2032 coin cell battery can last up to one year or more [1].

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.
