Demonstration

Demonstrates infrastructure-less proximity between the Nodes.
TWR distance measurement between a Node and all its surrounding nodes.
Trigger alarm using LED, haptic motor or buzzer when Nodes are in close proximity. The distance threshold is configurable.
Typical applications: Collision avoidance, social distancing, swarm coordination.

Downlink TDoA RTLS Demo

Prepare for setup

Four Nodes configured as Anchors with fixed positions, and one or more Tag nodes configured as the DL-TDoA mode.
An Android device with LEAPS Manager application installed and/or a terminal application on the desktop to display the location.

Demonstration

Demonstrates real-time navigation of an unlimited amount of Tags in receive-only mode with complete privacy using DL-TDoA technology.
Demonstrates the LEAPS Manager application with Tag position navigation.
Typical applications: Indoor navigation with mapping, autonomous robot and vehicle navigation, asset tracking with location data being sent through another communication channel.

Uplink TDoA RTLS Demo

Prepare for setup

Four Nodes configured as Anchors with fixed positions, one or more Tag nodes configured as the UL-TDoA mode.

A desktop with LEAPS server software installed for position calculation and visualization.

Demonstration

Demonstrates real-time tracking of the Tag with high accuracy using UL-TDoA technology.
Typical applications: Asset and people tracking.

TWR RTLS and Data Telemetry Demo

Prepare for setup

Four Nodes configured as Anchors with fixed position, and one or more nodes configured as TWR and/or DL-TDoA Tag.
An Android device with LEAPS Manager application installed and/or a terminal application on the desktop to display the location.
A desktop with LEAPS server software installed for position and data collection and visualization.

Demonstration

Demonstrates real-time navigation, tracking and both ways of data telemetry using TWR technology.
Demonstrates real-time navigation of an unlimited amount of Tags using DL-TDoA technology.
Typical applications: Indoor navigation, asset tracking and real-time data telemetry supporting uplink and downlink.
