Bluetooth® Angle of Arrival (AoA) technology for real-time location systems (RTLS) are enabled by Bluetooth 5.1, offers high accuracy in positioning, which is crucial for various industries.
- High Accuracy: AoA can determine the exact location of an object within a range of 0.1 - 1 meter by using the angle of signal arrival, not just signal strength.
- Technological Advancements: The introduction of the Bluetooth 5.1 standard allows for the determination of signal direction through angular phase shifts between antennas.
- Practical Applications: AoA technology is particularly beneficial in healthcare, logistics, and industrial sectors for tracking assets, equipment, and personnel with high precision.
- Challenges and Solutions: Despite some challenges like noisy phase differences, the use of advanced algorithms like Multiple Signal Classification has improved accuracy significantly.
