This is a stationary beacon that forms part of the marvelmind indoor positioning system.  It allows for an accuracy of up to 2cm. The beacons use ultrasonic pings, connected via an ISM band telemetry connection to accurately and affordably tracking objects indoors. To extend the range of the indoor positioning starter kit, you can add more beacons to increase the coverage area. This beacon is designed to be a stationary beacon.

This beacon is available with a 433Mhz radio and does not include an IMU, so can only be used for stationary beacons.
