Omnisense - Model S524 -Precise Positioning Sensor

As part of Omnisense`s S500 Geolocation system S524 sensors form a mesh network in which the devices measure the precise time-of-arrival (ToA) of radio signals transmitted by neighbours. The sophisticated Omnisense Joint Timing and Location Engine uses the ToA measurements to compute the positions of the nodes relative to others in the network to high precision (20 cm under good conditions), both indoors and outdoors.

The S524 utilises 3 radios: Ultra Wideband (UWB) for precise positioning, Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS) for medium range positioning, and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for personal area communications and beacon applications. In addition, each S524 device contains a combined three-axis accelerometer, magnetometer and gyroscope as well as an altimeter and temperature sensor. These sensors are used to measure motion and behavioural metrics.

Each device has a unique identity, and is recharged using a contactless charging mat. An LED indicates operating status. Between 1 day and several weeks battery life is provided depending on the application.

The S524 is primarily designed for personnel use. It can also be used for tracking animals and mobile assets.
