Buying guide

What UWB positioning does

Ultra-wideband (UWB) measures the time a radio pulse takes to travel between a tag and fixed anchors, and turns those distances into a position. Because the pulses are nanoseconds long, the distance is precise and holds up near metal and in multipath-heavy spaces such as racked warehouses: the Identium UWB range is rated under 30 cm in unobstructed space, against under 1 m for Bluetooth AOA and about 10 m for Bluetooth RSSI zones. The anchors and tags are specified in the 6.24–6.74 GHz band (6.25–6.75 GHz on the R40 anchor), and are planned and sold as one system.

Two ways to build a system

Cable-free

ID-UWB-B50 battery anchors, 3–5 years per battery, with the ID-UWB-V10 4G terminal on each vehicle. Nothing to cable on the ceiling; the terminal uploads positions itself. The fastest way to track forklifts.

Wired

ID-UWB-P30 indoor anchors on PoE, or ID-UWB-R40 aluminium IP67 anchors, on Ethernet or 4G. Tags only need UWB: the C20 work card, W20 wristband and M18 magnetic tag.

Collision warning

The ID-UWB-X10 ranges to other vehicles and tagged pedestrians and switches relays for a beacon, horn or interlock at a distance you set.

How many anchors

  • Presence: one anchor shows a tag is in a room, bay or dock.
  • Along a line: two anchors give the position along an aisle, corridor or tunnel.
  • X/Y on a floor: at least three anchors in view of each tag.

Racking height, aisle width and metal all change the count, so send a floor plan for a layout.

The platform

The UWB positioning platform does the position calculation and puts every tag on a live map, with history playback, geofences and alarms, SOS handling and equipment statistics, and an interface for your WMS or ERP. It is quoted with the hardware for each project; see the UWB forklift tracking system for a worked layout.

UWB, BLE or RFID?

UWB costs more per tag and anchor than Bluetooth and draws more power, so use it where tens of centimetres matter: which aisle and slot, which side of a walkway. For room-level location, BLE beacons and gateways are cheaper; for counting items through doors, passive UHF RFID needs no battery at all. Our RFID vs BLE vs UWB vs GPS guide compares them.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is UWB positioning?
The Identium UWB range is rated under 30 cm in unobstructed space (0.3 m for the ID-UWB-B50 battery anchor). Racking, walls and metal between tag and anchors reduce that, which is why anchors are planned from the floor plan.
Do UWB anchors need cabling?
Not with the ID-UWB-B50: it runs 3–5 years on a battery, and 4G terminals such as the ID-UWB-V10 upload the positions. The ID-UWB-P30 and R40 are wired anchors on PoE or DC, with Ethernet or 4G.
Can I use UWB tags from another brand?
Generally no. UWB systems from different makers use different bands and protocols, so plan tags, anchors and the platform as one system. Ask us before mixing products.
Is there software?
Yes. The UWB positioning platform calculates positions and shows them on a live map with history, geofences, alarms and statistics, and connects to WMS or ERP systems. It is quoted per project with the hardware.
Are the Ex-rated versions approved for Indian hazardous areas?
The Ex ib / iB IIC T4 Gb ratings on some models are under Chinese certificates; PESO approval is not included. Ask us before specifying them for a classified area.
