The Trackunit Kin embedded on-board antenna is designed for optimal performance in the
Bluetooth 2.4 GHz ISM band. The Antenna is matched by design and tuned for the best possible
performance and radiation pattern by Trackunit RF experts.
Power
Trackunit Kin can be configured to optimize power usage to a specific use case. This includes the
possibility to set the Conducted Tx power in the range from -3dBm to 6dBm (plus antenna gain),
and by adjusting the advertisement interval in the range from 1 second to 2 minutes.
Note that the selected Tx Power is included in the advertisement message, so that this can be
counted into the location tracking algorithm.
LED
Trackunit kin contains an embedded visual low-power LED, to be used for different status
purposes.
At first the functionality of the green and red LED is linked to the Trackunit Mobile Localization
services and will be used for visual signaling during a connection, while localizing an asset.
This is just one of the use cases, and further usage of the LED will be implemented with the
Trackunit web and mobile services.
LED will automatically be switched off when a device is disconnected.
