UWB device enables COVID-19 contact tracing in the workplace
The NEON Micro-Tracer provides an easy-to-deploy solution for businesses to reduce the further spread of the virus and improve employee safety as they return to the workplace. It is an infrastructure-free, cost-effective solution that provides the peace-of-mind that employees will seek at financial institutions, call centers, warehouses, construction sites, and many other enterprises.
The device uses a simple and inexpensive wearable device issued to each employee, offloading data from personal phones and delivering higher accuracy and reliability. A small, lightweight NEON accessory clipped to an employee’s belt or carried on a lanyard will measure the distance to other users within range. Distance and time data are stored locally and can be easily uploaded to the NEON Cloud for analysis and reporting.
The NEON Micro-Tracer accessory provides distance calculations with cm-level accuracy using state-of-the-art ultrawideband (UWB) technology with time-of-flight ranging that is not susceptible to the inaccuracies experienced by signal strength-oriented technology such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). The device was designed to be automated with little or no training required for each user and offers real-time, haptic, and audio social distancing feedback as well as rapid contact tracing capabilities.
