Ubisense – Ultra-Wideband Location System – Modular Ubitag V2.0
Introduction
The Modular Ubitag V2.0 is a wireless module intended to be integrated into other devices for the
real-time location of objects within buildings. It transmits ultra-wideband (UWB) pulses which are
picked up by a network of basestations (Ubisensors) placed inside the building, allowing the 3D
position of the tag to be found. The use of UWB technology enables greater positioning accuracy
within buildings than other wireless technologies, because it is much less susceptible to multipath
interference effects. Applications of the system include healthcare, workplace productivity,
security, retail management and manufacturing.
This document describes the features and specifications of the Modular Ubitag and important
regulatory information concerning its use and integration into other devices.
Regulatory Information for the United States of America
The Modular Ubitag V2.0 is approved under subpart F (Part 15.517) and Part 15.249 of the FCC
rules as a Modular Transmitter.
The product into which the Modular Ubitag V2.0 is incorporated must bear a label per the FCC
requirements which shows the FCC ID assigned to the Modular Ubitag V2.0 as follows.
Contains FCC ID: SEAMOD21
The following information must be conveyed in the information supplied to the End User of the
product into which the Modular Ubitag V2.0 is incorporated:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
CAUTION: This equipment may only be operated indoors. Operation outdoors is in violation
of 47 U.S.C. 301 and could subject the operator to serious penalties.
The Modular Ubitag V2.0 will only operate (i.e. transmit UWB signals) in conjunction with an
in-building UWB sensor network, which should be professionally installed. The installed
sensor network will be configured to cover only the area inside the building, preventing
Ubitags from emitting UWB signals outdoors. Contact your system administrator if you are
unsure as to the extent of the coverage of the Ubisense In-Building Location System in your
building.
The user’s manual or instruction manual shall caution the user that changes or modifications to
the equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for the grant of equipment
authorization issued by the FCC could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment under
the grant of equipment authorization, for example:
CAUTION: Any changes or modifications made to the Modular Ubitag V2.0 which are not
expressly approved by the Ubisense Limited could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
