We have summarized the questions we received from our customers regarding Pozyx.
Since Pozyx is a product that can be used in various ways, we receive many inquiries and questions.Below are some of the questions we received and some of their answers.
Q: What is the difference between the Gateway that comes with the Enterprise kit and the Compact gateway that comes with the Enterprise kit Lite?
In terms of functionality, Gateway and Compact gateway are similar. Compact gateways are smaller and less powerful than Gateways.The big difference is the number of tags that can be supported.
Q: Are there any precautions to take when using multiple Enterprise anchors?
You can use up to 6 Enterprise anchors with the free license included in the package, but if you want to use 7 or more Enterprise anchors (or tags) in one setup, you need an annual license. increase.The license price depends on the number of anchors and tags, so please include that information when purchasing the license.
Q: Is it possible to change the settings so that not only UWB channels 1-7 but also the high band of 8-15 can be used for Japan?
* Questions from the manufacturer FAQ page (Is Pozyx UWB certified?)
Pozyx products are equipped with Decawave DW1000 as a UWB transceiver chip.Since the supported frequency of this chip is only 3.5-6.5GHz, it does not currently support the high band after channel 8.Recently, the successor to DW1000 was released by Decawave, and it seems that this chip is also compatible with the high band band, but at present it has not been concretely commercialized in Pozyx.
Q: I'm thinking of using it for the purpose of "recording moving conductors and recording where I stopped". Is software that can do this included in the package?
Regarding how to use the software, I could not find any information about the recording of the place where I stopped, but there is a demo in the manufacturer's video about the recording of the moving conductor.
Please refer to the manufacturer's manual, etc. below to determine whether or not the intended use and function of the customer can be realized.
