Hardware

Bluetooth Low Energy is the most widely deployed wireless standard in the world – more than five billion products ship with it every year. Our rtls ble builds on 100 % of the standard specification and is therefore fully industry-compatible: tags, anchors and gateways work with whatever is already transmitting in your environment.

xTag LTE BLE

A multi-tracking device combining worldwide tracking over 4G LTE with precise local positioning over Bluetooth 6.0

Features & benefits

  • 4G LTE modem

    LTE has the best network coverage worldwide and allows seamless roaming between providers.

  • Built-in eSIM

    No handling of SIM cards needed, connectivity costs are included in the SaaS fee.

  • WiFi scanning

    Energy-saving, solid positioning (10–30 m) in buildings and warehouses, indoors and outdoors.

  • Bluetooth 6.0

    Precise (< 10 cm) and fast (< 10 s) positioning in a Bluetooth environment with xAnchor.

  • Bluetooth gateway, mobile or fixed

    "Swarm intelligence": detects and reports low-cost Bluetooth tags nearby – up to 90 % cost savings, AI-supported technology.

  • Compact IP67 housing

    Only 115 × 40 × 24 mm.

  • High battery capacity

    Up to 10 years of runtime at 4–5 LTE messages per day.

Programmable features

  • Periodic advertising

    Transmission interval matched to the use case – from frequent to very frugal.

  • Highly sensitive accelerometer

    Detects whether the asset is moving or standing still.

  • OnStop and OnMove advertising

    The tag reports when movement starts or ends instead of on a rigid schedule.

  • Multicolour LED

    Feedback on the device itself, for locating or acknowledging.

  • Deep sleep with wake-up on radio

    In deep sleep the tag draws almost nothing and can be woken over the air.

  • Modular design

    The electronics frontend can be combined with different housing adapters, additional sensors and power sources.

xAnchor+ LTE

High-performance wireless BLE gateway

Features & benefits

  • Multifunctional Bluetooth access point

    Reads all tags and beacons from Bluetooth 4.x through 6.x.

  • Highly sensitive four-patch antenna array

    Wide coverage in any environment.

  • Optional LTE mobile connectivity

    No local network and no IT of your own required.

  • Expandable with up to three serial xAnchor units

    Cost-efficient way to extend the coverage area.

Supports many tracking scenarios

  • Simple presence

    With any BLE tag.

  • AoA 5.1

    Gate function and accurate positioning.

  • Channel Sounding 6.0

    Precise positioning (< 10 cm).

  • Advertising response

    LTE tags detect the Bluetooth environment while the LTE modem stays switched off.

xAnchor

AoA antenna array for extending coverage

Features & benefits

  • Antenna array for AoA

    Determines the angle of arrival of the radio signal – the basis for sub-metre positioning.

  • Highly sensitive receiver

    Built for industrial environments, including plenty of metal surfaces and interference.

  • USB-C or RS485 connection

    Runs off the xAnchor+, up to three units per access point.

xApp Mobile

App for device configuration and asset tracking

Features & benefits

  • Configure device profiles

    Set up tags and anchors on site, without laptop and cable.

  • Track assets

    Check stock and positions while on the move.

  • For iOS and Android

    Runs on the company phones that are already there.

System components

  • xEdge – positioning engine

    Calculates the position from several angles of arrival and the known anchor infrastructure (AoA scenario).

  • xEdge – presence engine

    Determines the location from signal strength where presence matters more than centimetres (presence scenario).

  • xEdge – gate service

    Detects direction and zone crossing from the angle timeline (gate scenario).

  • xCloud – digital twin

    Every asset has its counterpart in the cloud, with state and history.

  • xCloud – data integration

    Positions and events are passed on to ERP, WMS and BI systems.

  • xCloud – device management

    Tags and anchors are managed and configured centrally.

xAnchor and xAnchor+

xAnchor+

Combine up to 4 anchors by USB – for optimum radio coverage with fewer infrastructure components.
