sMART UWB
Adant’s sMART UWB locate with centimeter accuracy UWB tags and UWB capable smartphones. While other solutions require multiple anchors to identify UWB tags, Adant sMART UWB is the only solution that uses a single anchor to enable accurate location of UWB tags over the full 3D space.The solution uses smart antennas and advanced algorithms to precisely resolve Angle of Arrival (AoA) and Time of Flight (ToF) to enable RTLS solutions with best possible accuracy and minimum capex.

Adant sMART UWB performance Key Benefits
Adant’s UWB Smart Antenna solution is a game-changer, offering unparalleled performance with the following key features:
- Enhanced RTLS Services: By embedding Adant UWB technology, WiFi routers can now deliver unprecedented RTLS services, transforming the capabilities of existing infrastructure and opening up new possibilities for innovation.
- Superior locating precision: Current WiFi routers typically use BLE or WiFi for real-time location services, but their positioning accuracy is often inadequate for many applications.
- 360° Single Router Coverage: Unlike other UWB solutions that need multiple UWB radios to detect UWB tag, Adant’s smart antenna provides full 360-degree coverage with just one WiFi router, significantly reducing deployment costs.
- Sub-Meter Accuracy: The integrated UWB radio and Adant smart antenna technology enable WiFi routers to track UWB-capable smartphones and tags with sub-meter accuracy, ensuring super-accurate positioning within the coverage area.
- Versatile Installation: The solution is ideal for both ceiling-mounted and tabletop routers, offering flexibility in deployment and ensuring optimal coverage in various environments.
- Extended Coverage Radius: Adant’s technology allows for accurate tracking of UWB tags and smartphones within a 20-meter radius of the WiFi router, making it perfect for diverse applications ranging from smart homes to industrial settings.
Adant sMART UWB Antenna System
Include an adaptive antenna system to be integrated with target device and drivers to be loaded on the UWB chipset. The antenna is available in different designs and customizable for the target device
By dynamically steering its beam to scan 360 degrees, Adant sMART UWB measures angle and distance directly, drastically reducing the number of devices needed for full environmental coverage.
Adant UWB Location Engine
The UWB Location Engine collects data from deployed anchors and computes the position of UWB tags and capable smartphones in the 360° space.
It exposes APIs for seamless integration with third-party systems and applications. It usually includes diagnostics and installation tools to support commissioning, monitoring, and maintenance.
Adant Software Platform
Composed of a database and web interface, it is used to store all information related to the UWB tags location, to monitor the system diagnostic and to configure the system for installation.
