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 and 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 a license-free 915MHz ISM band (for example, the US, Japan, and Korea) and a license-free SRD band at 868MHz (for example, the EU and Russia). Support for the 433MHz ISM band (EU) is available with 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 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 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 usage
  • 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

Shipping Policy

Fast Delivery! We ship via FedEx, UPS, DHL, and USPS because they are fast, reliable, and easily trackable. We process orders within 24 hours, and delivery may take 4-7 business days after that, depending on your location. We will email you the tracking number once your order is shipped.

Shipping Costs: For some industrial products, such as heavy wheels and CNC machines, shipping costs are calculated based on product weight, not 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 require reverse tariff payments and multiple shipping fees, which are very 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. But we will offer an exchange for a product that has irreversible manufacturing defects or technical problems. If you purchased the wrong product, then you, as the customer, will be responsible for the re-shipping fees and tariffs.

We’re here to help you buy the hottest products affordably, with fast shipping and World-Class Customer Support. However, please read about the newly imposed tariffs and click the Delivery tab to review our Return and Refund policies before making a purchase.

Tariff: We ship directly from the country where the product is made, such as China, Italy, or Taiwan, helping you avoid or pay lower tariffs. Since we do not always ship products to you from the USA (except for products made in the USA or stocked), you will not be affected by the new tariffs imposed by the USA. Due to new tariff agreements between countries, not all products are subject to tariffs, as tariffs vary by country or product. For example, customers in the USA will pay a tariff on products imported from China, based on the tariff rate agreed between the USA and China. And so, if applicable, you, the customer, will pay the tariff in your respective country. The total amount of your order does not include a tariff, which you will pay before the delivery. We won’t issue a refund if you don’t pay the tariff.

Tariff via DHL: Click https://www.delivery.dhl.com/on-demand-delivery.xhtml?ctrycode=US or click on the Order Tracking link we emailed to you with your tracking number. Or call DHL at 1-800-225-5345  (toll-free) or +603 7964 2800 (overseas). Contact DHL: https://mydhl.express.dhl/us/en/help-and-support.html#/contact_us. For international customers: https://ondemand.dhl.com/

Tariff via FedEx: Click the Order Tracking link in the email we sent you to view your tracking number, or call FedEx at 1-800-GoFedEx (1-800-463-3339). Or Pay here: https://www.fedex.com/en-us/shipping/international/duties-and-taxes.html.

Tariff via UPS: Click the Order Tracking link we emailed you with your tracking number, or call UPS at 1-800-742-5877.

Tariff via USPS: Click the Order Tracking link in the email we sent you to view your tracking number, or call 1-800-ASK-USPS (1-800-275-8777).

Ships From: On this product page, check the Ships From: label to see which country we will ship this product from, because we do not ship all products from the USA; some products ship from regions like China, Taiwan, Canada, and Europe. Therefore, the tariff you pay depends on the country your order is shipped from, as not all countries charge the same tariff. For example, suppose the US imposes a 30% tariff on goods imported from China; in contrast, other countries may impose a significantly lower tariff, or even none at all, on goods shipped from China into their countries.

Attention! We will email you the tracking number for you to track your parcel. The shipping company will contact you by phone, text, or email to arrange payment of the tariff. However, as the customer, you are responsible for responding to their call, text, or email. You can also click the tracking number link we emailed you to contact the shipping company and make the tariff payment, if you haven’t already.

Heads Up! We’re not responsible for parcels returned to us if you don’t pay the tariff or fail to follow up with the shipping company. As a result, if the shipping company returns the parcel to its country of origin, you will be responsible for re-shipping costs and tariff charges. We will not accept any excuses for not paying the tariff or for failing to follow up with the shipping company for the tariff, and we will not issue a refund.

Why are we not adding tariffs to the product’s retail price? If all countries imposed the same tariff amount and used the same currency, we would have added that tariff to the product’s retail price. Our suppliers and we are not responsible for tariffs. Please shop accordingly.
