Pozyx Robust UWB real-time location system
The Pozyx UWB RTLS (Real-time Location System) consists of hardware to track assets, equipment, and people indoors with an unprecedented accuracy of 10-30cm via UWB and BLE technology. A comprehensive software suite allows for easy set-up and maintenance.
RTLS Hardware
UWB Anchors
The Pozyx Anchors (or satellites) receive information from the UWB or BLE tags, preprocesses the data and sends it to the Pozyx (on-premise) positioning gateway. The anchors are the cornerstone of accurate positioning and are built to endure. Their robust design makes accurate location tracking possible, even in the most challenging industrial environments. With the VESA mounts they are easy to install and attach to walls or ceilings.
- Easy to install
- Built to endure with IP67 rating
- Superior UWB & BLE signal processing and reception
- Anchor daisy chaining to reduce required cabling
UWB Tags
The Pozyx Tags allow accurate positioning of people and assets in real-time. They send out UWB signals that are picked up by the anchors.
Settings such as update rate can be highly configurable and to the business needs to optimize performance, durability, and battery life.
- For assets, equipment, and people
- Highly configurable
- UWB ultra high accuracy (10cm)
BLE Tags
Support for BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) tags is provided to allow a variety of low-cost trackers where the positioning accuracy is less important and cost is the main driver.
- Low-cost BLE asset tags
- Long battery life
- BLE standard accuracy (5m)

RTLS Management
Pozyx's RTLS Management System is designed to assist the user through the complete process, from set-up to management. This garantuees a succesful roll-out within budget and on time.
The system makes it easy to estimate how many anchors are needed for optimal coverage. It offers a full managment environment for all devices in the set-up. The open API allows for easy integration and it is possible to set up automatic notifications based on location triggers.
- Easy system set up and validation
- Manage every device in the system in one platform
- Set up location-based triggers

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
The Pozyx UWB RTLS consists of 3 components:
- Tags, which are devices of which the position will be tracked. They send out a signal which will be used to calculate their position.
- A network of anchors, which are devices mounted on fixed locations. They capture the signal from the tags and forward these signals to the gateway. Anchors are connected to a switch or the gateway using ethernet cables.
- A gateway: The brains of the RTLS. This device will calculate a position based on the input it receives from the anchors.
The cost consists out of a hardware fee for the anchors, the tags and the gateway. Volume discounts apply.
A recurring license is charged on the positioning engine and the software which covers security and stability updates and patches.
Please contact sales to obtain a detailed quote for your project.
Pozyx UWB setups usually require one anchor per 150 – 300 m² (1500 - 3000 sqft), depending on the amount of obstructions in the facility.
Based on a floorplan layout, Pozyx can provide an accurate estimate of the required anchors needed for your project.
Installing the anchors, cables and network equipment can be done by the customer or by a certified partner with experience in installing Pozyx systems. We recommend our customers to make use of one of our installation partners. On request we are glad to share all detailed information to find a suitable partner.
If performed by a Pozyx partner, up to 15-20 anchors can be installed on a single day. After all anchors are installed the commissioning of the system takes about 5 days per 100 anchors. This includes measuring out all anchors with a total station, calibration of all the anchors, configuring the system and generating a validation report to validate the final system performance.
The RTLS supports a virtually unlimited number of tags, it is developed for scalability and robustness. Note however that the total update rate is limited to 5000 positions per second on our standard gateway. Meaning that, if you have 5000 tags, the maximal update rate for a single tag is 1Hz. In practice, this limit will not be reached easily since the tags go into a reduced update rate when they are not moving.
The Pozyx RTLS hardware has CE, UKCA, FCC, ISED, and SRRC certifications. Click here for a full list of covered countries.
