Overview____________________________________________
The RTLS Module is a full function RTLS
subsystem that self-contained in a compact
dimension. This module provides high accuracy
positioning, UWB communication and Bluetooth
communication abilities to user’s system.
The figure below shows the block
diagram of the RTLS Module. RTLS Module is a
single PCB design and consists of a micro-
controller, a radio transceiver, two on-board chip
antennas, power management circuitry, and
other peripherals.

Specification_________________________________________
Maximum Rating
The modules should be stored indoor with relative humidity no greater than 80%, and
temperature between 0 °C and 40 °C. Exposure to high heat is prohibited. Direct sunlight should
also be avoided.

RF Transceiver
The module operates in the unlicensed UWB band. The transmitted signal bandwidth is
500 MHz or greater. The units are calibrated such that the maximum radiated spectrum density
is no more than -41 dBm/MHz and is fully compliant to the spectrum mask defined in FCC part
15. It is also compliant with the similar spectrum regulation for regions and countries including
US, Canada and EU.

Important Regulatory Information
FCC Statements (United States)
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules:
Operation is subject to the following 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
Changes and Modifications not expressly approved by Redpoint Positioning Corp. can void your
authority to operate this equipment under Federal Communications Commissions rules.
Warning: To fulfill FCC Certification requirements, users who integrate RTLS module in their
system must comply with the following regulations:
The RTLS Module modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number, and, if the
FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the
device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed
module. This exterior label can use wording such as the following:
Contains FCC ID: 2ADX4-MODV7
IMPORTANT:
This equipment 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
(FCC 15.19).
IMPORTANT Antenna Information:
To comply with FCC / ISED regulations limiting both maximum RF output power and human
exposure to RF radiation, the maximum antenna gain including cable loss in a mobile-only
exposure condition must not exceed;
Peak UWB Antenna Gain: 2.6dBi
Peak BLE Antenna Gain: 2.2dBi
Industry Canada (IC) Compliance Statements
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation
of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio
exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne
doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage
radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le
fonctionnement.
CAUTION: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by Redpoint Positioning Corp.
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
The RTLS Module is labelled with its own IC ID. If the IC ID Certification Number is not visible
while installed inside another device, then the device should display the label on it referring the
enclosed module. In that case, the final product must be labelled in a visible area with the
following:
“Contains IC: 12677A-MODV7”
Ce module est étiqueté avec son propre ID IC. Si le numéro de certification IC ID n'est pas
visible lorsqu'il est installé à l'intérieur d'un autre appareil, l'appareil doit afficher l'étiquette sur le
module de référence ci-joint. Dans ce cas, le produit final doit être étiqueté dans un endroit
visible par le texte suivant:
“Contains IC: 12677A-MODV7”
Interfaces
RTLS module provides one UART interface, one SWD programming interface, and 6
