Smart UWB & BLE Tracking Tag with Qorvo DW1000

tracking people inside the building. There are UWB with 2 antennas(used for triangulation: calculate distance and angle ), BLE to communicate with own smartphone and make visualization on Mobile App, accelerometer, and Gyroscope

Droid Technologies designed and developed a custom UWB/BLE tracking tag for indoor positioning and real-time location tracking (RTLS) of people and assets.

The device combines the Qorvo DW1000 UWB transceiver with a Nordic nRF52840 BLE MCU. UWB with a dual-antenna architecture enables precise ranging and positioning, while Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) provides smartphone and mobile app connectivity. The device also supports the Apple Find My network for extended asset-location capabilities.

An integrated accelerometer and gyroscope provide motion data, while Kalman filtering and sensor fusion improve tracking stability and accuracy. An IR temperature sensor enables contactless temperature measurement.

Droid Technologies delivered hardware design, PCB development, embedded firmware, UWB/BLE integration, Apple Find My integration, antenna integration, sensor fusion, positioning algorithms, and system testing.
