Tracking & Locationing

Best-in-Class Solutions for Tracking and Locationing

For years, Renesas has been developing, implementing, and shipping best-in-class solutions for asset tracking and locationing. With expert and hands-on supports for your projects- including third-party off-the-shelf solutions- we have available, best-in-class-performance and field-proven solutions to fit your needs right out of the gate.

Renesas’ asset tracking and locationing solutions include: crowd-sourced locationing (Google Find My Device and Apple Find My Network®), proximity/ranging (WiRa™: Wireless Ranging) and AoA/AoD (ATLAS: Asset Tracking and Locationing at Scale), partnered with IOSEA for market-validated, best-in-industry performance.

So no matter your end application, whether you want to keep track of your construction fleet at an industrial worksite, patients in nursing facilities, or thousands of packages in a warehouse, we offer a wide range of application block diagrams, reference designs, virtual labs, and products for you to get started on your own design and system.

Leading-Edge Locationing Technologies

Leveraging angle of arrival (AoA) for direction and locationing, phase-based ranging (as used in WiRa and Channel-Sounding) for proximity and locationing, and Crowdsourced Locationing (CSL) for global locationing, we offer best-in-class solutions ideally suited to your specific tracking requirements.

Field-Proven Locationing Solutions

Our field-deployed asset tracking and locationing at scale (ATLAS) and WiRa (phase-based ranging) technologies are proven in handling some of the most challenging RF environments. From advanced multi-path cancellation algorithms for performance consistency in reflective environments to tracking thousands of tags with collision avoidance schema, our complete solutions are available for your next locationing project.

Best Power, Range, Accuracy, and Resilience

Leveraging our lowest power and cost-competitive portfolio of Bluetooth® Low Energy (Bluetooth LE) SoCs and modules, in conjunction with advanced locationing algorithms, our locationing solutions outperform in power, accuracy, consistency and resilience. Importantly, our best-in-class power consumption also extends battery life for CSL and ATLAS tracking tags.

End-to-End Solutions and Support

In partnership with IOSEA, we provide end-to-end locationing offerings, spanning from customizable, complete systems to off-the-shelf, and brandable solutions. We also offer comprehensive support including reference designs, demo kits (for evaluation and full-scale field-trial) leveraging our solution partner's backend and expertise in locationing product design and deployment.

Which Locationing Technology is Right for You?

Choosing the right locationing method is key to building an effective system. Factors like object, environment, accuracy, power, and cost determine if technologies like triangulation, trilateration, or CSL fit your needs. By understanding your use case and priorities, you can select the optimal approach for precise, reliable tracking
