Omnisense SWB Product Range

Omnisense sells a range of products for industries which need easily deployed indoor / outdoor certainty-based location

Series 200 - RTLS for Sport


Series 400 – “Cluster” Relative Positioning


Series 500 – Cluster-SWB







Omnisense is developing a hierarchy of products to meet the majority of requirements for high accuracy real time tracking, whether for people (soldiers in combat zones, Fire Service personnel dealing with emergencies, athletes in a race), for assets (equipment airside at an airport, trucks or buses within and moving in and out of a depot, safety critical plant in a mine) and for livestock (dairy cows in barns, beef herds in fields).

Omnisense’s patented technology enables all these requirements to be dealt with by the same platform with appropriate integration with other systems and appropriately tailored outputs. Which specific Omnisense solution best fits the requirement can be determined by the systems integrator or end customer, and our consultancy team is available to help our customers achieve the optimum end result.

Omnisense products currently fall into three main categories;

Series 200. This product has been operating successfully in a demanding environment (horse racing) for some five years. It provides high accuracy (<0.5 metre) in real time on up to 40 horses in a race over a 1-2 km range at an update rate of 4 times a second.

The system has a classical architecture with receivers in predetermined positions, but uniquely the receivers are wireless and readily portable. This means that compared with other classical systems there is a substantial saving in installation costs for the infrastructure and, further the whole installation can be easily transported between locations, thus saving the cost of duplicate installations on multiple sites.

This system has continuing appeal where there is the requirement for high accuracy in tracking of people or objects in substantial but defined areas and there is a requirement to save costs through the portability of the system.


Series 400 “Cluster” System. This revolutionary patented system eliminates the need for any fixed infrastructure with major cost and operability benefits. Each of the mobile tags communicates with similar devices to determine relative positions in real time. With the incorporation of GPS in just a small proportion of the devices the whole cluster will be aligned to a geo-referenced coordinate frame so that all know their absolute and relative positions.

Prototype Cluster devices are available for demonstration from end Q1 2010 and are integrated with GPS and INS to provide seamless indoor / outdoor capability, good accuracy (<3 metres) and high performance even in GPS denied environments. The first iteration of the Series 400 is at a cost level acceptable in a variety of markets and a number of trials are planned with potential customers in Q2 2010.

Interest in the Series 400 products comes from mining, healthcare, defence, first responder, agriculture and transport.

Series 500, Cluster plus SWB. Omnisense is now developing a third generation real time system, with a prototype planned for Q1 2011, which integrates the patented SWB ranging techniques with Cluster relative positioning technology. This product will give very high accuracy (<1 metre), substantially increased scalability (At least 10,000 mobile tags) and materially increased range and resilience for certain specific markets.
