Omnisense patented “Cluster” technology provides highly accurate real time tracking without the cost, inconvenience and disruption needed to install a fixed infrastructure.
Sparse wideband (SWB) is a technique used by Omnisense for precise range and velocity measurement between devices using radio signals. By emitting a small number of narrowband signals spread across a wideband channel SWB can achieve high accuracy while only using a small portion of the available spectrum. The frequency agnostic technology computes highly accurate (ns) time relationships allowing operation across unsynchronised networks of mobile devices.
Sparse wideband technology provides exceptional accuracy and resilience to real time tracking even in traditionally difficult areas for radio based systems.
Omnisense has a hierarchy of solutions to meet most real time tracking requirements. Series 500 is the next generation of Omnisense RTLS, in which we have put together a low cost radio platform that uses alternative radio ranging techniques, the measurements from which are used within an updated Joint Timing and Location Engine (JTLE) to achieve positioning performance that is less flexible than SWB, but adequate for many applications.
As illustrated in the figure opposite cluster relative positioning is a fourth generation RTLS which offers true mobility of deployment. In Series 500 Omnisense have developed the first production ready infrastructure free geolocation system.
