Asset Tracking

Long-range, low-power wireless connectivity solutions for real-time asset tracking

Overview

In recent years, Asset Tracking?market keeps rapidly growing, especially enabled by both SRW (short range wireless) and WAN (wide area networks). However, BLE is the dominator at this moment for the low cost and low power advantages. The total market volume is still ramping up in some vertical markets such as manufacturing, logistics, warehouse etc. Infineon offers the scalable BLE and Wi-Fi products to enable the advanced location solutions.

Low-cost, low-power Bluetooth? LE

Most asset tracking systems are deployed by Bluetooth? LE Beacon technology to address the entry-level location requirement. All anchors can hear by the received signal strength (RSSI) from each tag in terms of Beacon protocols. The AIROC? CYW20835 helps designers meet the low-cost and low-power consumption requirements of asset tracking systems.?

Get greater position performance and accuracy?

AIROC? Bluetooth? LE solutions, such as the CYW20829, come with a direction-finding feature that supports two methods to determine the direction of a Bluetooth? signal. This feature offers greater position performance by improving location accuracy down to the CM-level compared to RSSI. Both of methods are based on the use of an antenna array, which are the angle of arrival (AoA) and the angle of departure (AoD).

Increase your long range capabilities?

The AIROC CYW20829, Bluetooth? LE 5.4 MCU, improves your long-range capabilities by offering you the industry¡¯s best range connectivity with an integrated power amplifier for 10 dBm of transmit output power. This MCU also offers a remarkable receive sensitivity of -98 dBm, up to 2.3Km connectivity range.

The reliable, low-power AIROC? Wireless Connectivity portfolio, including the CYW5591x family of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth? Low-Energy 5.4 Connected MCUs, delivers high-performance RF features to ensure your device works when needed in increasingly congested environments due to its longer-range features.?

BLE AoD Location

In the angle of departure (AoD) method, the device to which direction is being determined, such as an anchor in a RTLS , transmits a special signal using multiple antenna arranged in an array. The receiving device, such as a mobile phone/tag in that same RTLS, has a single antenna. As the multiple signals from the transmitting device cross the antenna in the receiving device, the receiving device takes IQ samples. Based on the IQ sample data, the receiving device can calculate the relative signal direction. this method is? intended for use in indoor positioning solutions, such as way-finding.

Infineon Offering

Industry Leading asset tracking solutions can be enabled by IFX AIROC? product family, including BLE SoCs such as CYW20829 featuring the long range and CYW20835 for ultra low power consumption, and Wi-Fi combo (such as CYW43022 featuring best in class low power) and connected MCU (like CYW55911 for Wi-Fi 6 low power, long range features) etc.
