MeshIPS uses Wirepas Massive, previously known as Wirepass Mesh, to provide scalable and cost-effective solution to connect and localize tags and sensors. Its unique low-power mesh operation allows to create fully
battery-operated networks having years of battery lifetime.
This solution offers an easy to install and scalable location system for a wide range of applications (warehouses, hospitals, building sites, tunnels, ...), consisting of a cable-less infrastructure for asset tracking
without any complex planning or cabling cost.
The MeshIPS delivers typical performance of room/zone accuracy with a typical location interval of minute(s) and years of battery lifetime, with the lowest
infrastructure and ownerships cost on the market.
Architecture
Communication and positioning infrastructure is entirely based on Wirepas mesh network. This implies that no additional communication infrastructure is required (e.g., LAN, WLAN, …).
Moving tag signal power to nearby anchors is computed and forwarded, through the mesh network, to the mesh gateway (sink of the network). Depending on the size of the network, more than one mesh
gateway can be required.
Mesh gateway is directly connected to a local server where the BlueUp Positioning Engine (BPE) is installed. BPE integrates algorithms based on trilateration, that allows to compute tag
position from RSSI information from each anchor.
BPE provides REST APIs in standard JSON format, that allows to get tag(s) position in real time.
