Renesas / Dialog SmartBond™ Wireless Ranging SDK
Renesas / Dialog SmartBond™ Wireless Ranging SDK uses the DA1469x family of BLUETOOTH® LE SoCs with highly accurate and reliable distance measurement capabilities. The WiRa SDK uses radar-like implementation to enhance distance measurement for connected devices greatly. This amounts to +/- 0.5 meters in typical situations. The result is a solution with 10x the accuracy of competing RSSI-based localization options.
Features
- Add distance measurement as a feature to wireless applications
- Achieve 10s of cm accuracy in typical use cases
- Distance reported out within 200 milliseconds
- No additional HW is needed compared to standard Bluetooth LE system designs
- A proprietary implementation that co-exists with Bluetooth LE communication
- Comprehensive SW suite, including data processing algorithms, distance output, UI, and SW application example
- Flexibility to further optimize, adapt, or replace data processing algorithms
- Small RAM memory and MIPS requirements; runs on any DA1469x Bluetooth LE SoC variant
- Suitable for battery-powered devices
- Benefit from DA1469x on-chip integrated battery charger
- Pre-programmed development kit including two DA14695 Development Kit-USB boards each fitted with a MikroBUS™ OLED display and SMA antenna
Applications
- Asset tracking
- Indoor positioning
- Social distancing assistance
- Smart locks
- Authentication (e.g., for mobile payments)
