Silicon Labs and Quuppa have collaborated to deliver a highly accurate indoor asset tracking solution based on the Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) direction finding feature with advanced angle-of-arrival (AoA) technology. The solution combines the Quuppa Intelligent Location System with Bluetooth LE asset tags using Silicon Labs best-in-class Bluetooth system-on-chip (SoC) devices including the new EFR32BG22 SoC. Silicon Labs is demonstrating the new direction finding solution at CES, January 7, 2020, at its public suite in the Venetian/Sands Expo, Level 3, Toscana 3710. The demo showcases sub-one-meter indoor asset tracking with Bluetooth AoA technology and combines Silicon Labs Thunderboard Sense evaluation kit and Bluetooth SoCs as asset tags with Quuppa's Bluetooth locators and position engine for tracking. The Silicon Labs and Quuppa Bluetooth direction finding solution targets a wide range of indoor positioning, navigation, and asset and people tracking applications for industrial IoT, logistics, security, personal medical devices, smart buildings and retail use cases. The solution can be used to optimize processes and workflows for improved productivity and efficiency in commercial and industrial environments. Silicon Labs' Bluetooth system-on-chip (SoC) devices and wireless modules enable developers to create ultra-low-power, low-cost asset tag designs that flexibly support large-scale applications.
