Hi Is there any dev kits available to c reate a PoC for this technology? Also what software do we use to visualise the location of devices detected by this technology? I am new to this so would appreciate your guidance. Keen to make a PoC.

Hi,

There are two examples in the developer page which might be useful for you to start on with this application. You can find them here and here. The supported boards are also mentioned in these examples. As for the software, the nRF Connect SDK (NCS) includes all the necessary protocols and tools for this application and hence you don't require any additional software.

Regards,

Hi SwRa thanks for your response how many boards do I need? Do the dev boards also act as beacons? All this meat is missing on the bone in the instructions which are very software setup focussed

Hi,

Yes it can be quite confusing. You need one board for the locator part which is a Development Kit combined with antenna matrix board. You need to contact the regional sales department to get the board for this purpose. For the beacon, you need another Development Kit which is a normal development kit that you may already have. Both these boards need to be configured and run so as to be able to communicate with each other.

Regards,
