Super-Beacon for Precise Indoor Positioning and Navigation System
The Super-Beacon is the most versatile, easy-to-use, and recommended Beacon for Marvelmind’s precise indoor positioning and navigation system, particularly when starting with the Marvelmind Indoor “GPS” system. The system is used for autonomous robots, forklifts, drones, and people, as well as industrial applications requiring precise positioning and indoor localization.
- The Beacon can also be used with the Marvelmind Horn to measure precise distances of up to 50m (1D) or 120m (1D).
- It is a dual-use beacon – it can both receive and transmit ultrasonic pulses.
- It can work both as a stationary and a mobile device.
- It can be used in Non-Inverse Architecture (NIA) and Inverse Architecture (IA): Architecture comparison.
- The price of the Beacon already includes all essential SW and Marvelmind Dashboard API.
It supports the license-free 915 MHz ISM band and the license-free 868 MHz SRD band. Support for the 433 MHz ISM band (EU) is available for larger orders. It features a 6D IMU (comprising 3D gyro and 3D accelerometer) onboard. The Super-Beacon is improved and in the all-time superior version of the Beacon HW v4.9:
Distance between beacons
- Reaches up to 50 meters in lab conditions
- The recommended distance is up to 30 meters (RX4 to RX4)
- The range of stable tracking of Super-Beacon is 20-50% bigger than the range of Beacon HW v4.9 + Beacon HW v4.9 in the same conditions.
Coverage area
- Reaches up to 1000 m2 with the Starter Set configurations
- Coverage for larger territories is similar to that of cellular networks
Location precision
- Absolute: 1–3% of the distance to the beacons
- Differential precision: ±2 cm
- Differential precision is on par or better than in the Beacon HW v4.9, partially because the sensor is a point, not as spread as sensors of HW v4.9, and partially because of the higher processing power and more advanced algorithms of the Super-Beacon
Location update rate
Non-Inverse Architecture:
- 0.05–25Hz
- It can be set manually or in automatic mode
- It depends on the distance between the mobile and stationary beacons (shorter distance — higher update rate)
It depends on the number of mobile beacons: for example, the update rate of 25Hz for one mobile Beacon will result in an update rate of 25Hz/2 for two mobile beacons and 25Hz/3 for three mobile beacons, etc. – The TDMA approach
- It depends on the radio interface profile (500kbps vs. 38kbps)
Inverse Architecture:
- 0.05–25Hz. Future SW releases are planned to support IMU fusion that will enable an update rate of up to 100 Hz
- It can be set manually or in automatic mode
- It depends on the distance between the mobile and stationary beacons (shorter distance — higher update rate)
- It doesn’t directly depend on the number of mobile beacons – all of them are receiving
- It depends on the radio interface profile (500kbps vs. 38kbps)
Power supply and battery lifetime
Internal:
- A LiPol battery 1000mAh
- Battery lifetime depends on use
- Receiving beacon mode with 8Hz update rate and 10 m-SubMaps => up to 30h
- Transmitting Beacon with 1/10Hz update rate => several months
- The power-saving features may increase battery life to 1 year.
External: Micro USB – recommended for permanent use
Weight
- 59 grams (including 1000mAh battery, housing, and 50-mm antenna)
- 27 grams (bare board w/o battery)
Size: 55x55x33 mm (with 50mm antenna: 55x55x65mm)

Shipping Policy
To minimize or avoid tariffs, we ship from the country where the product is made, such as China, Italy, or Taiwan. We Sell Worldwide in USD.
Fast Delivery! We ship via FedEx, UPS, DHL, and USPS because they're fast, reliable, and easy to track. We process orders within 24 hours, and delivery may take 4-7 working days, depending on your location. We'll email you the tracking number once your order is shipped. We sell in USD.
Shipping Costs: For some industrial products, such as heavy wheels and CNC machines, we calculate shipping costs by weight rather than quantity. To reduce shipping costs for orders with multiple items, please email us at sales@ozrobotics.com before placing your order. We show shipping rates on the product page under the SHIPPING tab. To view the shipping cost for your country, click 'Add to Cart' on the product page.
Return Policy
5 Hours: Mistakes happen when ordering, so you have 5 hours to request a refund for any reason, including if you don’t want to pay the tariff. However, Stripe will not refund you their processing fee if you cancel your order.
All Sales Are Final: After 5 hours, we cannot cancel your order or issue a refund because order cancellations incur multiple transaction processing fees from Stripe and PayPal, additional shipping fees, and reverse tariff payments, which are costly and time-consuming. For technical issues, we will be happy to assist you in resolving problems and provide a replacement if you can prove that the product has a manufacturing defect.
Exchange Policy: We want you to be happy with your new purchase. However, once you have used the product, we cannot issue a refund. However, we will offer an exchange for a product with irreversible manufacturing defects or technical issues. If you purchased the wrong product, then you, as the customer, will be responsible for the re-shipping fees and tariffs. If the product you purchased is defective, email us at support@ozrobotics.com with photos or a video of the faulty parts so we can evaluate the issue before arranging a replacement.

Terms and Conditions
If you were not at home or at your shipping address during the parcel delivery: It is not our or the supplier's fault; if the shipping/delivery company could not deliver your parcel because you, the customer, were not at home or at your delivery address on the delivery date/time, and as a result, the carrier returned your parcel to the manufacturer from where it was shipped. Please note that we do not accept excuses; you will therefore have to pay the re-shipping fee and the tariff for any re-shipment request. In such a case, we will not issue a refund. Please always check your spam folder to ensure you receive emails from Oz Robotics and shipping companies.
