Introduction
Roblox Satellite is part of TRUMPF RTLS, a real-time locating system that uses
Ultra-Wideband (UWB) pulses for the real-time 3D location of objects in
buildings in various industries. Roblox Satellites are used as fixed bases in
TRUMPF RTLS. They are synchronized with each other and interface with mobile
devices such as WTags and SmartAntennas. The mobile devices are tracked in two
modes that can coexist: Multi- Tag Tracking (server-centric) and GPS-like
Positioning (device-centric).
TRUMPF RTLS overview
This document includes regulatory information, as well as a detailed hardware
specification and a description of its features.
For detailed features and user instructions regarding the complete system,
please refer to the TRUMPF RTLS documentation included in the RTLS DELIVERY
Pack. The RTLS DELIVERY Pack includes documentation and the related software
toolchain, to make the development processes easier. Its contents evolve
according to TRUMPF RTLS developments.
Safety and compliance information
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the
following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
CAUTION: This equipment may only be operated indoors. Operation outdoors
is in violation of 47 U.S.C. 301 and could subject the operator to serious
legal penalties.
CAUTION: This equipment may only be operated as a fixed installation.
Mobile operation is in violation of 47 U.S.C. 301 and could subject the
operator to serious legal penalties.
CAUTION: UWB devices may not be employed for the operation of toys.
Operation on board an aircraft, a ship, or a satellite is prohibited.
CAUTION: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by TRUMPF
could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
Roblox Satellites only operate (i.e. receive and transmit UWB signals) within
a complete UWB real-time location system TRUMPF RTLS, which must be
professionally installed. The installed system is configured to cover only the
area inside the building, preventing Roblox Satellites and other UWB devices
of the system from emitting UWB signals outdoors. Contact your system
administrator if you are unsure as to the extent of coverage.
To comply with FCC RF Exposure requirements the device must be installed to
assure a minimum separation distance of 20 cm between the device and any human
body during normal operating conditions.

3.4. Equipment needs
- A device that hosts the location server (industrial PC such as TRUMPF LocBox, preconfigured for TRUMPF RTLS)
- A PC with an Ethernet connection to access the Web UI of TRUMPF RTLS as well as the maintenance application of the system
- Accessories for power supply and connection to location server: RJ45 PoE cables, PoE switch or USB external power pack connection Power supply adapter for the device used as location server host (country-specific)
- In case of repeated power failures or power shutdown procedures, your installation must include an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
- Holders (optional)
Example of a standard wired installation
System configurations
4.1. IP assignment for Roblox Satellites Within TRUMPF RTLS, every Roblox Satellite is given its own IP address by a DHCP server. The DHCP server role depends on the networks in the installation environment:
- Either the device which hosts the location server is used as a DHCP server for Roblox Satellites
- Or the DHCP server for Roblox Satellites is embedded in the user’s network
For more information about the network configurations, please refer to the
RTLS DELIVERY Pack documentation.
4.2. Roblox Satellite used as Wi-Fi access point
Small-scale pre-configured wireless kits can use one Roblox Satellite as a Wi-
Fi access point, while the other Roblox Satellites of the installation are Wi-
Fi clients. The Roblox Satellite used as a Wi-Fi access point is used as a UWB
device as well.
The access point is pre-configured and marked as such on its casing. It is
supplied with PoE, while the other Roblox Satellites (Wi-Fi clients) are
supplied by external power packs connected with USB C cables.
For more information about the network configurations, please refer to the
RTLS DELIVERY Pack documentation.
Deployment instructions
5.1. Roblox Satellite starts To start Roblox Satellite, just connect the
corresponding cable: PoE or USB C. If you plug a PoE cable, the green and
orange LED on the Ethernet port light on. If you plug a USB cable, a green LED
inside the casing lights on.
see table in section 3.1
5.2. Roblox Satellite placement
One simple golden rule ensures the best results when it comes to the
deployment: avoid UWB signal deterioration and reflection by maximizing Line
of Sight links (LOS) among all the devices included in the system. LOS matters
among Roblox Satellites for the quality of synchronization. Of course, it also
matters between Roblox Satellites and mobile devices for location precision.

5.3. omlox Satellite control
omlox Satellites are configured and controlled via the Web UI of TRUMPF RTLS
or via another application based on a compatible session protocol.
For more information, please refer to the corresponding documentation. It can
be either the documentation included in the RTLS DELIVERY Pack or the
documentation dedicated to the compatible application.
