2. GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT QUUPPA TECHNOLOGY

2.1 ANGLE OF ARRIVAL LOCALIZATION

Quuppa is a tag localization system with an approach based on the wireless signal’s “angle of arrival”

combined with advanced proprietary algorithms.

The Quuppa system leverages Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology. This offers

several advantages, including very long battery life , compatibility with mobile devices,

and the possibility of transmitting sensor data at the same time as positioning

information.

The concept underlying the Quuppa system is a combination of Bluetooth technology and

the angle of arrival signal detection method, providing greater positioning accuracy than

other technologies based on signal strength (RSSI).

2.2 DOWNLINK COMMANDS

Unlike equipment that relies on BLE advertising frames, which include identifiers and/or data only in

the uplink direction (i.e. tags towards receiver), the Quuppa system enables commands to be sent to

tags.

2.3 OPERATION OF TAGS WITH QUUPPA TECHNOLOGY

Tags with Quuppa technology are designed to react to movement while conserving energy during

idle periods. The Quuppa system updates a tag’s position while the tag is in motion and remembers

the tag’s last position when the tag is inactive.

The different tag reaction levels are described by three states:

•“Triggered” state: the tag is awake and emitting regularly

•“Default” state: tag emissions are slowed down

•“Storage” state: the tag switches to standby mode and no longer emitting at all, until

movement is detected

The change from one state to another takes place after a defined period. When movement is

detected, the tag necessarily changes to the “Triggered” state.

This operation is defined by the Quuppa state machine:

The density of wireless activity is shown on the following graph:

2.4 QUUPPA NETWORK

The Quuppa system requires installed infrastructure to operate. This includes:

•A physical server, running an instance of the Quuppa Positioning Engine software

•Localization antennas called “Quuppa Locators”

•A dedicated cabled network

Antennas are positioned in a mesh layout, which can be more or less spread out depending on

the desired localization accuracy (i.e. only presence detection, zoning, precise location).

Infrastructure must first be installed, and then defined and configured in the Quuppa Site Planner

software. More information about infrastructure and installation is provided on the Quuppa

website: https://quuppa.com/

3. TAG CONFIGURATION

Tag configuration involves two steps:

•Quuppa information configuration

•ELA Innovation information configuration

3.1 QUUPPA CONFIGURATION

Quuppa configuration enables you to configure the settings for each tag’s machine state.

Hardware

•Computer with an Ethernet network plug

•Quuppa Focusing Locator Antenna (not the same as localization antennas)

•Ethernet crossover cable, or network cables & Ethernet switch

Software

•Quuppa Site Planner

Method

In order to use a tag with Quuppa technology, the tag must be integrated in the infrastructure as

defined in § 2D.

Launch the Quuppa Site Planner (QSP) software and open a previously created project. If the project

was created on a different computer, you must download it via the Quuppa Customer Portal after it

was submitted by the first computer.

More information about site configuration is provided on the Quuppa website: https://quuppa.com/

Enter the required identifiers, then click on “Retrieve project information”. Choose the project and

click on “Download selected project.”

The main screen of the QSP application shows a map that you will use to show tag locations. The

map also shows Quuppa Locator antennas.

In the “Deployment / Tag Configurator Tool”:

The list of known tags is shown in the window, along with those currently visible by the Quuppa

Focusing Locator antenna. The “Distance” column shows the proximity of each tag with respect to

the antenna, which enables you to identify the tag you want to configure.

Quuppa state machines may be configured via the menu: “System / Tag configuration editor”.

This window enables you to create Quuppa state machine configurations that will be used to set up

tags.

Each state is defined by the following parameters:

➢Triggered state:

•Transmit rate: emission recurrence, adjustable from 9Hz to 1Hz

•Response mode: response speed for downlink commands, adjustable from “fast” to

“PowerSave”

•Transmit power: emission power, adjustable from -24dBm to +6dBm

9/23

•State timeout: time after which the tag switches to the Default state, adjustable from 1

sec. to 24 hrs

•Accelerometer settings: not used (set to Off)

➢Default state:

•Transmit rate: emission recurrence, adjustable from 1Hz to 0.1Hz

•Response mode: response speed for downlink commands, adjustable from “fast” to

“PowerSave”

•Transmit power: emission power, adjustable from -24dBm to +6dBm

•State timeout: time after which the tag switches to the Storage state, adjustable from

20 seconds to infinity

•Accelerometer settings: not used (set to Off)

➢Storage state:

•No wireless emission in this state

•Accelerometer settings: not used (set to Off)

In the “Tag Configurator Tool” window, the process configuring a tag with a predefined state machine

is as follows:

•Place the tag on the Quuppa Focusing Locator antenna

•Select the tag to configure (the distance bar enables you to identify it in the list)

•Open the menu “Selection / Configure selected tags”

•In the window that opens, select the state machine to assign as well as the channel

(BLE or proprietary)

3.2 ELA INNOVATION CONFIGURATION

ELA configuration enables you to define settings other than those for the Quuppa state machine.

Hardware

•PC with available USB port and Windows 10 (recommended)

•NFC USB reader (for example: ACR122U - ELA ref.: ACIOM177)

Software

•Device Manager Software - ELA Innovation (download via Software section on our

website: https://elainnovation.com/downloads.html?cat=95 ). Use version 2.1.0 or

higher.

Method

•Connect the NFC reader to the PC

•Launch the Device Manager application

•Open the Programmer section

•Launch the NFC widget by clicking on the icon

•Click on the name of your NFC reader

•Place the tag towards the bottom of the reader, with the tag’s label facing the reader

•Click on the icon to configure the tag

•The following window opens, with available parameters:
