Inpixon nanoLOC

High Performance RF Transceiver for Location Awareness and Robust Wireless Communication

The Inpixon nanoLOC transceiver is a low-power, highly integrated mixed signal chip. This 2.4 GHz long range Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS) transceiver transmits and receives wireless data packets for robust wireless communication, ranging capabilities and RTLS.

Supporting a freely adjustable center frequency with three non-overlapping frequency channels, amongst others, Inpixon nanoLOC enables multiple physically independent networks and improved coexistence with existing 2.4 GHz wireless technologies.

Key Benefits

Precision Accuracy

Achieve long range positioning accuracy of less than 1 meter - unattainable with UWB, BLE or Wi-Fi.

3 in 1

Enable concurrent TDoA-based tracking, ToF-based ranging and wireless communication with a single chip.

Compatible

Use in conjunction with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth with Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA).

Inpixon nanoLOC Highlights

Ranging

With its unique ranging feature, the Inpixon nanoLOC transceiver measures the link distance between two nodes, thus supporting location-aware applications. Example applications include location-based services (LBS), enhanced RFID, and asset tracking (2D/3D RTLS).

Sophisticated

The Inpixon nanoLOC chip features a sophisticated MAC controller with carrier sense multiple access and collision avoidance (CSMA/CA), time-division multiple access (TDMA), and frequency division multiple access (FDMA). This enables it to coexist reliably with other RF technologies within the 2.4 GHz band.

Communication

The Inpixon nanoLOC chip enables concurrent time-of-flight (ToF) based ranging, anchor-based time difference of arrival (TDoA) based tracking and wireless communication of sensor data based on the Chirp Spread Spectrum RF standard.
