Chirp Spread Spectrum _ CSS - RTLS - TOP-electronics

Chirp RF Technology, an RTLS technology for location tracking & ranging - Inpixon

Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS), also known as chirp, is an RTLS technology that has been in the industry for 20 years and is known for its unique capabilities in location tracking and ranging.

Chirp works by using time difference of arrival (TDoA), two-way ranging (TWR), or a combination of both - making it a powerful 3-in-1 solution for ranging, communication and tracking. It’s best known for its ability to be used indoors and outdoors, its resilience against radio-frequency interference, its long ranging abilities and cost effectiveness.  

Read more about four key use cases where chirp can be used to optimize industrial operations.

57753 SIP Ring Switch - TOP-electronics

SIP Ring Switch - 57753 -  W&T

Open barriers, doors or gates remotely?
Trigger alarms by switching signal lamps, horns, bells or sirens?
Control outdoor lighting? One call is enough with the 57753 SIP Ring Switch.



Voice-Over-IP has been an established communication standard for years. The advantage of this technology is that telephones, PCs and other end devices can work in one and the same network. No matter which network socket a telephone is plugged into - it automatically registers with the telephone system and can be used immediately at the respective location.

The SIP ring switch registers with the telephone system like an IP telephone. It can represent several extensions at the same time.

GNSS module, supporting Dead Reckoning - L26-DR

GNSS L26-DR series - Quectel

With the L26-DR Quectel has a competitive GNSS module, which supports Dead Reckoning. The L26-DR measuring 12.2mmx16.0mmx2.3mm is ultra-compact design, it is easily integrated, Ultra-Low power, and has excellent sensitivity.

Because this module supports GPS, GLONASS, Bei Dou, Galileo and QZSS it is visible for multiple satellites and so time-to-first-fix is reduced enormously and improves positioning precision.

This module is ideal for industrial applications.

Inpixon's Indoor Intelligence™ platform and patented technologies empower users to harness the power of indoor data to create actionable intelligence.They specialize in capturing, interpreting, and visualizing indoor data to make indoor spaces smarter, safer & more secure.
Inpixon customers can take advantage of mapping, positioning, analytics, sensor fusion, and the Internet of Things (IoT) to uncover the untold stories of the indoors.

An example of one of the modules of Inpixon is the Compact, Low-Power, Chirp Radio and Sensor Module, the Inpixon Swarm Chirp

The Inpixon Swarm Chirp (formerly swarm bee LE V3 ) is a 2.4 GHz Chirp Spread Spectrum module, suitable for a variety of IoT implementations.

The small 22 x 23 mm form factor, low power consumption, long-range transceiver including embedded accelerometer and temperature sensors, along with a low external component requirement, make the Inpixon Swarm Chirp an ideal choice for personnel, equipment and asset tracking products, where indoor or outdoor location sensing is critical.

Relative position is derived via the module-to-module direct ranging feature, without the need for additional infrastructure. Tags based on the Inpixon Swarm Chirp when deployed with the nanoANQ anchors and IoT Platform, provide the most comprehensive Real Time Location System (RTLS) on the market today.

With a built in on-board microcontroller (MCU), a 2.4 GHz RF Chirp transceiver, 3D accelerometer and temperature sensors, and universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART), the Inpixon Swarm Chirp module drastically cuts the time-to-market. Just add a battery, antenna and a housing, and it is market ready. It also comes with a complete API command set eliminating firmware implementation needs.
