INTRODUCTION

The Hardware Guide provides users with an overview of how to install and provision the Tenera Bracelet and Beacon. It outlines the hardware specifications.

HARDWARE OVERVIEW

The system is 100% designed and manufactured in Canada. In order to locate a resident, staff, visitor, contractor or asset the system triangulates the location utilizing UltraWideband (UWB) radio technology. The system relies on 4 key pieces of technology in order to triangulate the X-Y-Z three-dimensional location and consists of the following:

1. Tenera Bracelet:
   The bracelet is a sleek and comfortable wearable that broadcast its location every second to the beacons. It uses IEEE802:15.4-2011 UWB technology for the highest accuracy positioning available. The bracelet is dust and water resistant with an IP67 rating. Rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries are used to make maintenance and recharging easy. The straps use standard 18mm mounting hardware and can be customized to suit the user with different color options and locking mechanisms.
   To turn the bracelet on, hold down the red button for 10 seconds. The button will then flash a light to confirm it’s on. To turn the bracelet off, hold down the red button for 10 seconds. If you push the red button and the led lights up, then you know the bracelet is turned on. If you push the red button and the led does not light up, then you know the bracelet is turned off.

2. Tenera Beacon:
   The beacons are strategically mounted in fixed positions around the facility during the initial installation. Their fixed location is loaded through the installer console (appendix F). The beacons listen for UWB transmissions from the bracelet and communicate with the cloud servers to perform real time localization. Positioning algorithms with a strong emphasis on multipath rejection and sophisticated modeling give high performance in difficult Non-Line of Sight (NLOS) environments.
   

3. Google WiFi Mesh Network:
   The Google WiFi Mesh network creates a private wireless network allowing the Tenera Platform to transfer the X-Y-Z position of each bracelet to the cloud servers for processing. The Mesh network provides more coverage than a traditional router by using multiple WiFi points together to create a connected system providing a strong signal throughout the facility. The Google devices only require 1 device to be wired into the network while the remaining devices only require local power.

4. Tenera Console:
   The Tenera platform can be accessed from a web console, tablet or the companion Android Application. The web console is used to locate residents, staff, visitors, contractors and assets, acknowledge notifications and alerts, assign rules and run reports.

PROVISIONING PROCEDURE

If the application is not already loaded on your android device, please contact Tenera for the latest version of the application.

1. Ensure the beacon is plugged into a local power source and Bluetooth is turned on for your device.

2. Load the Provisioning Application and select “Start Provisioning”

3. From within the provisioning app you should see the beacon appear in the app. If the beacon does not appear hit the “Scan Again” button within the app and verify that the beacon is plugged in and has power.

4. Select the device you want to provision.

5. Enter all of the information provided to you by the lead or project manager. This should include the Wireless SSID, the Wireless Password, your name, the Facility Name, Building Name, & Floor. The information only needs to be entered in one time and then each subsequent beacon you provision will remember the information. Once you verify the information is correct select “Provision”

6. Once you press the “Provision” button, the beacon will start provisioning. You will see a message displaying “Session Established” & then “Configuration Successfully Applied”

7. Once the provisioning is complete the screen will display a message saying “Device has been successfully provisioned!”.

INSTALLER CONSOLE PROCEDURE

1. Log into the Tenera Admin Console: https://tenera-admin-ca.firebaseapp.com/login

2. Select the Customer Name from the drop-down menu in the top right corner

3. Select Install from the left side menu.
   

4. Reference the beacon ID and measurements you captured during the Mounting Procedure (Appendix D) and Provisioning Procedure (Appendix E) and select the beacon from the right hand side of the screen and select provision.
   

5. Once you select the provision, you will place the blue dot where the beacon is deployed in the facility. Ensure you are in the correct room.

6. The X & Y coordinates will automatically generate based on where you placed the beacon. You will need to enter the Z coordinate in meters. Select provision once you confirm the coordinates.
   

BRACELET SPECIFICATIONS

FEATURES

• DW1000 Ultra Wide Band chipset for high accuracy positioning
• Sleek and comfortable wearable design
• 1 year battery life with rechargeable LiPo battery
• IP67 ingress protection as per IEC 60529
• Facility wide nurse call with visual confirmation
• I Hz in motion update rate
• Customizable straps
• Standby mode for storage and transportation.

DESCRIPTION
The wearable bracelet uses IEEE802.15.4-2011 UWB technology for the highest accuracy positioning available. The positioning algorithms was designed with the main goals of accuracy. battery life. bandwidth and reliability. Each bracelet updates its position once per second while in motion for real time localization. High bandwidth means that over 200 bracelets can be in any one location without impact on latency.

Rechargeable Lithium Polymer batteries were used to make maintenance and recharging easy. A charge takes two hours and will last a full year. Despite this the bracelet is the smallest on the market and is contoured to the wrist making it extremely comfortable to wear.

The straps use standard 18mm mounting hardware and can he customized to suit the user with different color options and locking mechanisms available. Default is a soft, easy to clean silicone.

BEACON SPECIFICATIONS

EATURES . DW1000 Ultra WideBand chipset for high accuracy positioning . Small and unobtrusive design • Easy installation • Data backhaul over Win . I hour UPS battery life

DESCRIPTION
The beacons are mounted at fixed locations around the facility during the installation. Their position is measured and the floorplan is uploaded to the cloud. They then listen for UWB transmissions from the wearable bracelet and communicate with the cloud servers to perform real time localization. Positioning algorithms with a strong emphasis on multipath rejection and sophisticated modelling give high performance in difficult Non Linc Of Sight (NLOS) environments. This sets Tonere apart for real world performance.
Installation is does not require dedicated cable runs. Power is supplied via various length microUSB cables and a wall adapter (provided). Additionally. rechargeable battery provides an uninterruptable supply during temporary power outages. Wireless backhaul eliminates the need for dedicated infrastructure.
