Ultra-wideband real-time location system

Precise real-time location that installs itself.

Noccela tracks people, vehicles and assets with accuracy up to 10 cm. Our base stations calibrate themselves, our tags run for years, and the Location Intelligence Platform delivers live positions to your dashboards and systems, in the cloud or on your premises.

Positioning accuracy, up to: 10 cm
Coverage per base station, up to: 500 m²
Active tags at 1 Hz within radio range: 1,000
Configurable update rate: 0.1–50 Hz

One system from tag to dashboard

Noccela designs the whole positioning chain in Finland: the radio protocol, the hardware, the firmware and the software. You get one supplier and one system that works together.

How it works

From radio pulse to business decision

Tags send short ultra-wideband pulses. Base stations measure them, the positioning engine turns the measurements into positions, and the platform turns positions into alerts, KPIs and data for your systems.

Accurate where it matters

Accuracy up to 10 cm, also in metal-heavy halls where Bluetooth and Wi-Fi struggle.
Installs itself

Measure two base stations. The rest calibrate their own positions over UWB.
Years on one battery

Tags sleep when they are not moving. Battery life is typically several years.
Cloud or on-premise

Run it as a cloud service or entirely inside your own network.

How the technology works

Two-way ranging accuracy without the battery cost

Most UWB systems make you choose between two-way ranging (TWR), which is accurate but uses more airtime and energy per position, and time difference of arrival (TDoA), which saves tag battery but needs tightly synchronised base stations and usually has no link back to the tag. Noccela's High-Performance Ranging (HPR) protocol is designed to give you both.

	Two-way ranging (TWR)	TDoA	Noccela HPR
How a position is made	Tag exchanges messages with each base station	Tag sends one blink; base stations compare arrival times	Ranging-based positioning with a compact message exchange
Tag airtime and energy	Higher	Low	Low: battery life typically several years
Base station synchronisation	Not needed	Required (wired or wireless)	No timing cables: one PoE cable per base station, which calibrates itself
Link back to the tag	Yes	Usually not	Yes: alerts, configuration and over-the-air updates
