Product description
A Bluetooth "tag" is a small, thin device that can attached to any object to track its whereabouts. An
"anchor node" calculates the position of the tag. Bluetooth tags can attach to keys, wallets, purses,
and other personal property.
u-blox direction finding solutions that leverage this
evaluated using two separate explorer kits, as described in Table 1.

Description
XPLR-AOA-1
XPLR-AOA-1
Bluetooth 5.1 direction finding explorer kit for evaluating Bluetooth 5.1 direction
finding using Angle-of-Arrival methodology. The kit includes a single C211
application board and one C209 tag:
•
C211 application boards include a NINA-B411 module and an antenna array that
represents the anchor node for direction finding, using Angle-of-Arrival
methodology. u-connectLocate direction finding software installed on
NINA-B411 delivers angle information for tracked tags to a listening host.
•
C209 tags are based on the open CPU NINA-B406 module variant. The tags run
on custom tag software that advertise Eddystone beacons with appended with
Constant Tone Extensions (CTE). The CTE data is used by C211 application
board to calculate the position of the C209 tag.
XPLR-AOA-2
XPLR-AOA-2
Bluetooth 5.1 direction finding explorer kit for evaluating and developing indoor
positioning use cases, using Angle-of-Arrival methodology. The kit includes a four
C211 application boards, four C209 tags and positioning engine client software:
•
C211 application boards include a NINA-B411 module and an antenna array that
