1. Introduction
omlox Satellite is part of TRUMPF RTLS, a real-time locating system which uses Ultra-Wideband
(UWB) pulses for real-time 3D location of objects in buildings in various industries.
omlox Satellites are used as fixed bases in TRUMPF RTLS. They are synchronized with each other
and interface with mobile devices such as WTags and SmartAntennas. The mobile devices are
tracked in two modes which can coexist: Multi- Tag Tracking (server-centric) and GPS-like
Positioning (device-centric).
TRUMPF RTLS overview
This document includes regulatory information, as well as a detailed hardware specification and a
description of its features.
For detailed features and user instructions regarding the complete system, please refer to the
TRUMPF RTLS documentation included in the RTLS DELIVERY Pack. The RTLS DELIVERY Pack
includes documentation and the related software toolchain, to make the development processes
easier. It contents evolves according to TRUMPF RTLS developments.

2. Safety and compliance information
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.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following
measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
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 legal penal- ties.
CAUTION: this equipment may only be operated as a fixed installation. Mobile operation is in
violation of 47 U.S.C. 301 and could subject the operator to serious legal penalties.
CAUTION: UWB devices may not be employed for the operation of toys. Operation onboard an
aircraft, a ship or a satellite is prohibited.
CAUTION: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by TRUMPF could void the user's
authority to operate this equipment.
omlox Satellites only operate (i.e. receive and transmit UWB signals) within a complete UWB real-
time location system TRUMPF RTLS, which must be professionally installed. The installed system is
configured to cover only the area inside the building, preventing omlox Satellites and other UWB
devices of the system
from emitting UWB signals outdoors. Contact your system administrator if you are unsure as to
the extent of coverage.
To comply with FCC RF Exposure requirements the device must be installed to assure a
minimum separation distance of 20 cm between the device and any human body during
normal operating conditions.

3.4. Equipment needs
• A device which hosts the location server (industrial PC such as TRUMPF LocBox, pre-
configured for TRUMPF RTLS)
• A PC with an Ethernet connection to access the Web UI of TRUMPF RTLS as well as the
maintenance application of the system
• Accessories for power supply and connection to location server:
– RJ45 PoE cables, PoE switch or USB external power pack connection
– Power supply adapter for the device used as location server host (country-
specific)
• In case of repeated power failures or power shutdown procedures, your installation
must include an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
• Holders (optional)

4. System configurations
4.1. IP assignment for omlox Satellites
Within TRUMPF RTLS, every omlox Satellite is given an own IP address by a DHCP server.
The DHCP server role depends on the networks in the installation environment:
• Either the device which hosts the location server is used as DHCP server for omlox
Satellites
• Or the DHCP server for omlox Satellites is embedded in the user's network
For more information about the network configurations, please refer to the RTLS DELIVERY Pack
documentation.
4.2. omlox Satellite used as Wi-Fi access point
Small-scale pre-configured wireless kits can use one omlox Satellite as Wi-Fi access point, while the
other omlox Satellites of the installation are Wi-Fi clients.
The omlox Satellite used as Wi-Fi access point is used as UWB device as well.
The access point is pre-configured and marked as such on its casing. It is supplied with PoE,
while the other omlox Satellites (Wi-Fi clients) are supplied by external power packs connected
with USB C cables.
For more information about the network configurations, please refer to the RTLS DELIVERY Pack
documentation.

5. Deployment instructions
5.1. omlox Satellite start
To start omlox Satellite, just connect the corresponding cable: PoE or USB C.
If you plug a PoE cable, the green and orange LED on the Ethernet port light on. If you plug a USB
cable, a green LED inside the casing lights on.
▶ see table in section 3.1
5.2. omlox Satellite placement
One simple golden rule ensures the best results when it comes to the deployment: avoid UWB
signal deterioration and reflection by maximizing Line of Sight links (LoS) among all the devices
included in the system. LoS matters among omlox Satellites for the quality of synchronization. Of
course, it also matters between omlox Satellites and mobile devices for the location precision.

5.3. omlox Satellite control
omlox Satellites are configured and controlled via the Web UI of TRUMPF RTLS or via another
application based on a compatible session protocol.
For more information, please refer to the corresponding documentation. It can be either the
documentation included in the RTLS DELIVERY Pack or the documentation dedicated to the
compatible application.
