The omlox standard, which provides an open and interoperable infrastructure for real-time positioning in industrial environments, is growing steadily and is increasingly established in the market. We are pleased to announce that omlox air 8 ready certification is now available for omlox Core Zone products.

omlox Core Zone Certification Now Possible

After extensive testing by Fraunhofer IOSB-INA, the omlox air 8 ready certification for the omlox Core Zone has been released and the first products have been certified. Fraunhofer IOSB-INA, the first omlox test laboratory of PI, now offers omlox air 8 ready certifications for Core Zone satellites and tags. The certificate certifies the interoperability with other omlox Core Zone products and thus proves the ability to reliably locate position in industrial environments.

What is the omlox Core Zone?
An omlox Core Zone is a defined area within an industrial environment in which real-time location tracking is possible by using an omlox-compatible infrastructure in conjunction with omlox-compatible tags. The omlox Core Zone is based on ultra-wideband (UWB) technology.

What does the omlox air 8 ready certification mean?
The omlox air 8 ready certification confirms the interoperability and precision of similarly certified products. The number “8” refers to the specific UWB frequency band utilized.
