Nordic Chipsets can support Indoor Location Tracking feature?

Hi Nordic Team, Can you please share any information regarding Indoor Location Tracking feature/application that nRF52840 can support? does this have AoA/AoD? and can this provide any kind of physical layer time-stamping for ToF/TDoA algorithms? What's the best location accuracy that can be achieved using this silicon? If i want to develop nRF52840 based Indoor Location Tracking application what kind of support i can get from you? What's the preferred module platform? does Nordic supports API for location developers? what's the best LOS & NLOS range one can get using this SoC? Kindly share this information

THanks & Best Regards, Hemamali

  • No, none of Nordic nRF5x chips support Angle of Arrival, Time of Flight or similar feature used in real-time positioning systems and solutions. You are left only on SW timers and RSSI measurements. Still there are solution using these features which achieve <2m accuracy even in complex indoors topologies, but it's mainly calibration/filtration magic happening in the backend. Looking forward what Nordic will reply;)
