HR-RTLS1 UWB TWR Positioning System

A development path for UWB ranging and positioning

HR-RTLS1 brings together compatible UWB modules, tags, positioning software and development materials. Its multi-anchor positioning workflow uses range measurements and known anchor coordinates to estimate a tag's position. This is suitable for evaluating the measurement chain before integrating it into a larger application.

Build and evaluate a representative setup

Select modules for the required interfaces and installation conditions, configure anchor and tag roles and IDs, then enter surveyed anchor coordinates in the host software. Keep hardware family, radio settings and firmware compatibility aligned. The system manual describes different deployment arrangements; choose the layout for your 2D or 3D requirement rather than assuming every arrangement gives the same accuracy.

USB/serial modules and Ethernet anchor configurations have their own interface documentation. Review the frame format, units, scheduling and invalid-data handling before connecting a custom application. The maximum radio range of one device does not establish the usable range of every tag combination.

Development materials and scope

The RTLS1 documentation includes embedded and host-software development resources. Confirm the code, schematics and licence scope for the delivered configuration, particularly when combining standard ranging modules with a PDoA subsystem. Available documentation is linked below with its language clearly identified.

Compare TWR, TDoA and PDoA, ULM1, ULM3 and IGA01-EP Ethernet anchors. For time-difference-of-arrival positioning, see HR-RTLS4.
