UWB for High-Precision People Tracking in Real Time
Leverage the unmatched accuracy of UWB technology to transform how you monitor, manage, and protect people in your organization.
Precision Tracking with UWB Technology
Ultra-Wideband (UWB) for location-based tracking delivers sub-meter level accuracy by emitting short radio pulses across a wide frequency spectrum. Unlike other tracking technologies, UWB performs exceptionally well in complex and high-density indoor environments such as warehouses, hospitals, and construction sites, offering reliable and interference-resistant positioning.
Its capability to deliver real-time, high-resolution spatial awareness makes UWB ideal for applications demanding enhanced safety, operational efficiency, and precise movement insights. UWB thrives in areas with metal obstructions, walls, or heavy electromagnetic interference—conditions where many other systems struggle.
This technology is highly scalable, making it suitable for deployments ranging from compact facilities to extensive infrastructures. UWB tracking systems can be customized to meet specific operational requirements, helping organizations achieve smarter, safer, and more efficient environments.
