Leveraging UWB Technology

Cisco Catalyst 9100 Series AP with a Wipelot UWB dongle

To leverage this UWB technology, this solution requires the following:

1. Cisco DNA Center – Used to manage the deployment and serviceability of Wipelot’s RTLS IOx Application.
2. Wiplot’s RTLS IOx Application – Deployed to the Catalyst 9100 Series AP through Cisco DNA Center to allow the AP to control the UWB dongle and communicate to the Wipelot Mobile Tag and send data to the Wipelot web dashboard.
3. Wipelot’s UWB Dongle – Inserted into the Cisco Catalyst 9100 Series AP and emits UWB RF.
4. Wipelot’s Mobile Tag – Attached to equipment or people and sends UWB location data to the Wipelot UWB dongle.
5. Wipelot’s Web Dashboard – Web UI used to visualize the location of Wipelot’s mobile tags.

Get a wireless design plan specific to RFID.  

Make sure the evaluate the difference between RFID using WiFi vs BLE.

Dear leo, 

where to get the wireless design or add tag??

[Leo Laohoo]

You need to first understand and know the difference between RFID using WiFi and RFID with BLE. 

Only then do you talk to professionals to perform wireless design for RFID in mind using WiFi or BLE.
