1. Bluetooth Gateway is deployed indoor or outdoor at a fixed location.

2. People wear badges or bracelet, or a tag is put on an asset.

3. Bluetooth beacon (badge, tag or bracelet) sends UUID, major, minor, etc., periodically. The maximum transmit distance is 50m.

4. Bluetooth Gateway receives Beacon information and forwards it to LoRa Gateway.

5. Transmit distance is longer than 1km.

6. 5. The server calculates the coordinate and displays it in the APP. www.lansitec.com

B-MOBILE PLACEMENT SCENARIO

Placement 1

This scenario applies to projects with more small rooms or security inspection.

1. Deploy a gateway in each room like a meeting room, office or warehouse shown in the map.

2. Deploy solar Bluetooth gateway outdoor for security inspection.

3. Gateway forwards beacon information when a new beacon enters or lefts its range.

4. Accuracy: This scenario is used to determine whether the beacon is in the room or in its coverage.

5. Algorithm: Distance between beacon and Gateway can be calculated, but the direction is unknown.

Beacon signal may be received by gateways in a nearby room. Use our cloud software to avoid the mistake.

6. Map: We have a cloud map service for users to use.

Please contact us to gain access to the algorithm and map service API document.

7. APP: We have an asset and people tracking management APP and Web service. Please contact us for more information.

B-MOBILE PLACEMENT SCENARIO Placement 2

1. Use triangle positioning to calculate more accurate coordinates in large room or area.

2. Deploy Bluetooth gateways about 10m from each other in each corner of the office as shown in the map.

3. The 4 gateways forward beacon information (major, minor, RSSI .etc.) when beacon enters or leave the range.

4. Accuracy: Up to 3m

5. Algorithm: Triangulation and filtering algorithm.

6. Map: We have a cloud map service for users to use.

Please contact us to gain access to the algorithm and map service API document.

7. APP: We have an asset and people tracking management APP and Web service. Please contact us for more information.

•

• •

Considering that the assets rarely move, gateway receives multiple groups of beacon information so that coordinates of asset tracking are more accurate than people tracking in this scenario.

Placement 1 and 2 can be used simultaneously and the algorithm will detect automatically.

Application: Factory, Warehouse, School, Hospital

B-FIXED PLACEMENT SCENARIO Placement 1

This scenario applies to projects with more small rooms or with large outdoor areas: 1. Deploy beacons in meeting rooms, power distribution room or check-points 2. Tracker sends beacon information (major, minor, RSSI etc.) to LoRa gateway when it enters the beacon coverage and receives its signal.

3. Accuracy: This scenario is used to determine whether the beacon is in the room or its coverage.

4. Algorithm: Distance between beacon and tracker can be calculated, but the direction is unknown.

The tracker may receive beacon signal from other room. Using our cloud software to avoid the mistake.

5. Map: We have a cloud map service for users to use.

Please contact us to get the algorithm and map service API document.

6. APP: We have an asset and people tracking management APP and web service. Please contact us for more information.

7. If the tracker supports both Bluetooth and GPS, it keeps receiving nearby beacon signal. GPS is activated when beacon can be received. For more detailed configuration about the tracker, please contact us.

B-FIXED PLACEMENT SCENARIO Placement 2

1. Use triangle positioning to get more accurate coordinates in large room or area.

2. Use“Two-point”positioning in coal mines, long and narrow tunnels.

3. Deploy beacon about 10m from each other in each corner of the office as shown on the map.

4. Tracker sends all 4 beacon information (major, minor, RSSI etc.) to LoRa gateway when it enters beacon coverage and receives its signal.

5. Accuracy: Up to 3m
