Geo IoT World award for swarm bee family

Nanotron Technologies GmbH announces its swarm bee family of smart RF modules have received the award for best indoor location and proximity services.

Nanotron’s swarm bee modules are the first common platform for both UWB and Chirp technologies, thus providing the capability to mix and match UWB’s short-range cm accuracy, and the longer range of Chirp meter accuracy, with the same form factor and application programming interface (API).

Swarm bee reacts quickly to any approaching vehicle or item that reaches a pre-set distance. It supports 10 cm precision at up to 20m range, plus 1m precision up to 500m range for any combination of proximity and real-time tracking applications.

Location solutions powered by swarm bee in underground mining applications are improving safety, increasing productivity and driving compliance. This is achieved with concurrent support for exclusion zone detection, collision avoidance and highly scalable tracking.

Geo IT World explores location-aware IoT opportunities. This year’s conference featured more than 50 speakers and more than 250 attendees. It was held in Brussels, Belgium.
