Bluetooth indoor positioning determines a mobile tag’s location in real-time and with sub-meter accuracy by measuring the angle of arrival (AoA) of a Bluetooth direction finding signal sent by the tag at numerous fixed anchor points.
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons set on items, walls, ceilings, and other locations from which they broadcast radio signals at predetermined intervals are used for indoor navigation.
The global bluetooth indoor positioning antenna market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
For commercial end products, u-blox introduces a Bluetooth indoor locating antenna board. The u-blox ANT-B10 antenna board for Bluetooth direction finding and indoor positioning applications has been announced by u-blox, a top provider of positioning and wireless communication technology and services.
The board, which is intended for incorporation into industrial end products, provides low power, high precision indoor positioning and expedites Bluetooth direction finding and indoor positioning solution testing, assessment, and commercialization.
The technology is gaining popularity because of its low cost, high precision, and very simple installation and maintenance. It also benefits from Bluetooth’s extensive ecosystem and cross-platform interoperability.
An indoor location and self-contained Bluetooth low energy antenna board called ANT-B10 is available. The board is constructed around a u-blox NINA-B411 Bluetooth 5.1 module and has an antenna array made up of eight separate patch antennas.
The solution outputs the computed angle of arrival without the need for any additional processing after handling incoming RF signals generated by mobile tracker tags in the module’s radio and angle calculation processor.
The XPLR-AOA-3 explorer kit is also included in this edition. It has an application board that gives programmers a quick and simple way to test and assess the ANT-B10 antenna board.
