QPK3000

    Fully Integrated UWB RTLS Module

    Key Features

    • IEEE 802.15.4z UWB BPRF compliant, enabling secure and precise ranging.
    • Aligned with FiRa and omlox standards, allowing development of interoperable or proprietary RTLS solutions.
    • Supports UWB channels 5 (6.5 GHz) and 9 (8 GHz), ensuring global deployment flexibility.
    • Integrated Narrow-Band Multi-standard 2.4 GHz radio support (BLE and IEEE 802.15.4) for control, provisioning and hybrid use cases.
    • High RF link budget and sensitivity, delivering robust performance in challenging environments.
    • Optional +10 dB transmit power (EU indoor) to extend range and coverage where needed (per CEPT ECC/DEC/(06)04 amendment).
    • Integrated antennas for UWB and 2.4 GHz, reducing design complexity and BOM effort.
    • Optional antenna diversity, improving RX sensitivity by up to 8–12 dB for even more reliable connectivity.
    • SESIP Level 2 Cybersecurity compliance, supporting secure IoT deployments.
    • Compact 20 × 20 × 3.2 mm form factor, enabling easy integration into space‑constrained RTLS Tag designs.
    • Wide operating conditions (2.5–3.6 V, -40°C to +85°C) for industrial-grade applications.
    • Castellated module (37 pins, 1.5 mm pitch) for simplified PCB integration and manufacturing.
    • Add UWB RTLS to new or existing products without redesign, reducing development time and complexity.
    • Ensure interoperability with UWB-enabled enterprise infrastructure, including leading Access Points, for immediate ecosystem compatibility (Omlox and coming soon for Cisco Spaces).
    • Develop custom or differentiated RTLS solutions using a flexible Zephyr-based software environment.
    • Achieve reliable, high-performance wireless operation with a fully optimized, tested, and calibrated RF design.
    • Enable multi-year battery-powered operation with optimized low power consumption.
    • Support for TDoA and UWB Two-Way ranging architectures, giving flexibility in system design.
    • Build FiRa™ compliant products to ensure interoperability across the growing UWB ecosystem.
    • Enable Omlox-compliant industrial tag solutions for standardized, multi-vendor deployments.
    • Accelerate certification timelines with pre-certified RF design: FCC (USA), ISED (Canada), ETSI (EU), listing pending.
     

    Typical Applications

      • High-precision Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) and asset tracking using Uplink TDoA or Two-Way Ranging—enabling real-time visibility of assets and operations.
      • Last-meter positioning (“Find My Asset”) using FiRa™ compliant UWB with Bluetooth LE for seamless user experiences. Following Apple Nearby Interaction Accessory Protocol and Android equivalent.
      • Location-aware wireless sensor networks, combining communication and precise ranging in a single infrastructure.
      • Industrial positioning with omloxTM compliance, ensuring interoperability across multi-vendor RTLS deployments
