nanotron MN03SWBLE, swarm bee LE v3 module
Embedded 2.4 GHz Chirp Radio Location Awareness and Concurrent Wireless Communication
swarm bee LE V3 integrates nanotron’s location RF-Chip, nanoLOC, and is complemented with embedded accelerometer and temperature sensors. With low external component requirements, the swarm bee LE V3 is an ideal choice for personnel, equipment and asset tracking products, where in- and outdoor location sensing is critical.
swarm bee LE V3 based tags, when deployed with nanoANQ anchors and our IoT Platform, provide the most comprehensive real-time location system (RTLS) on the market today.
- Engage markets with a small footprint module – suiting wearables, asset tags or cap lamps.
- Deliver higher performance applications by extending the range (+4dB RF Pout).
- Cut integration time with the tag-ready swarm bee design.
The swarm bee LE V3 is based upon the nanoLOC transceiver chipset. With configurable transmission power output, the module is capable of radio range up to 1,000 m with typical applications from 300m to 500 m. The increased output power further stabilizes the communication reliability and connection robustness.
