BLE – Indoor Tracking

Overview

The Quuppa Intelligent Locating System™ is a powerful engine for various Location Based Services and applications. It provides accurate real-time positioning data using Bluetooth® Low Energy (Bluetooth LE) technology, unique Angle-of-Arrival (AoA) signal processing method and advanced proprietary algorithms.

Advanced antennas, the Locators, measure the direction of a radio signal transmitted by a Tag. The Quuppa Positioning Engine then computes the Tag’s position using advanced algorithms.

Bluetooth Low Energy

The Quuppa system is based on Bluetooth Low Energy technology, which provides several advantages – including long Tag battery lifetime, compatibility with mobile devices and the ability to carry sensor data, alongside positioning data. Grasping the versatility of Bluetooth is essential for understanding how to use the technology in advanced location-based applications. Read more about the versatility of Bluetooth technology.

Angle of Arrival

The unique insight behind the Quuppa system is combining Bluetooth wireless technology with Angle-of-Arrival signal processing method, enabling the superior positioning accuracy compared to solutions that are based on Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI). Since the introduction of Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth Low Energy), which includes location-oriented specific profiles, Bluetooth technologies have become very valuable for location-based applications. The technology is well suited to Angular-based measurement methods for Real Time Locating Systems (RTLS).
