Example of installation planning in beacon application:
1. Place beacons first on pathways and rooms that are most used
2. Place beacons next to stairs, escalators, and elevators in every floor
3. If you are planning to use positioning outside, place beacons next to exits and the perimeter of
building
4. Lastly, place beacons everywhere else evenly to ensure good coverage.
4.4 Installing Viking™ Quuppa tags
Based on the above antenna design analysis and radiation pattern test result, below are the
application notes specifically for BLE based positioning systems that use a reader, for example
Quuppa locator.
• Reading from the front surface is always recommended.
• If the receiver is installed on the celling face down, the best orientation for the tag is having
the tag horizontally placed, face up.
• If it’s not possible to have the tag horizontally placed (e.g., vertically), the recommended
orientation is in 45-50° clockwise rotation.
