Product Usage Instructions
CorivaSat
Welcome to the technical data sheet for our Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Satellite,
the fixed device of our Coriva Real-Time Location System (RTLS). The CorivaSat
is designed to receive UWB signals from CorivaTags or other 3rd party “omlox
air 8”-certified mobile devices. CorivaSat is a cutting-edge Ultra-Wideband
(UWB) device that is designed for highly accurate and reliable asset tracking.
Equipped with advanced Ultra-Wideband technology, this compact infrastructure
device is capable of collecting real-time location data, ensuring that you
always have access to the most up-to-date position information about your
assets. The CorivaSat is designed to collect data from omlox-compliant UWB
tags (such as the CorivaTag) and transmit this data to the CorivaEngine, where
the positions of the mobile devices are calculated with high precision. omlox
is the world’s first open locating standard which aims to implement flexible
real-time locating solutions with elements from various manufacturers. For
more information about omlox, please visit omlox.com.
There are two different versions of the CorivaSat, an IP20 protection class
version and an IP67 version, which achieve their protection class through a
different cap and sealings.

RF Exposure Notice
This device is a radio transmitter and receiver. CorivaSat complies with FCC
radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This
equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance of 50 cm
between the radiator and a human body. This transmitter must not be colocated
or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
System Overview
CorivaSats only operate (i.e. receive and transmit UWB signals) within a
complete UWB real-time location system, which must be professionally
installed. The installed system is configured to cover only the area inside
the building, preventing CorivaSats 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.
Operation
- Optical Status: Check the LED indicators for device status.
- Buttons: Use the buttons for device control if applicable.
- Nameplate: Refer to the nameplate for product information.

https://portal.coriva.io General installation
hints can be found in the User Manual > Setup > Satellite Planning
Wall Mounting
The CorivaSat has a slide-in mechanism on its rear for different mounting
brackets or mounting adapters, allowing a variety of ceiling, wall and object
installations.
The Wall Mount Adapter (Version “H”) will be shipped with the CorivaSat:
Power Supply and Netwok
The CorivaSat can be powered with 24 V DC or with Power over Ethernet (PoE)
LAN.
Attention
Please do not insert any plugs or cables into the interface (marked with X),
as this may destroy the device or cause permanently irreparable damage.
Direct current connection
The electrical connection to a 24 V DC network is made using the two-pole
connector marked “DC IN” with screw terminals. This power supply is mandatory
for Wi-Fi connection option. The screw terminals serve a connection cross-
section of 0.2 mm² to 3.3 mm² for flexible or rigid lines.
Please pay attention to the correct wiring
Please note the polarity-correct connection and the tightening torque of max
0.5 Nm for the DC In
Wired Network connection including power supply
The CorivaSat has a 10/100 Mbit/s network connection type 8P8C or RJ45 with an
integrated power supply (power over Ethernet). The LAN connector is on top of
the Satellite marked with ETH. The CorivaSat can receive an IP from the local
area networks DHCP server and operates as a network device in this LAN.
Maximum LAN cable length
Please use only shielded network solutions with a maximum length of 100
meters.
The LAN connection point is typically several meters away from the installation site of the CorivaSat and is connected with a shielded network cable. The necessary network infrastructure is provided by the user and is not included in the scope of delivery.
Cable entry and sealing for CorivaSat IP67 version
In areas exposed to dust and/or water, the use of the CorivaSat with the IP67
cap is strongly recommended To guarantee a high IP-grade, particular attention
must be paid to the sealing of the cables and the sealing between the base
body and the cap. The installation methods for assembled cables (RJ45 network
cables) and not assembled cables (DC cables) are described below.
- Installation of the M25-cable gland in the IP66/67 cap.
- Preparing DC cable: Strip the sheathed cable by approx. 4 cm, then strip the cable ends by approx. 8 mm. If it is not solid wire, put ferrules on it.
- For DC cable entry: Insertion of the corresponding sealing insert into the cable gland, which matches with the outer diameter of the DC cable. For a “Daisy chain” installation, please use a sealing insert with multiple slots. For RJ45 network cables entry: Guide the RJ45 plug with cable through the full opened gland. Outside the cap place a slotted seal for one wire over the cable and push it into the gland. If you need DC cable and network cable, use a slotted seal for two wires.
- Guide the DC cable through the cap and tighten the cone nut slightly so that the cover is held against the cable.
- Connect the wires to the connector according to their polarity.
- Plug in the DC plug and/or the RJ45 plug.
- Attach the cap while slightly pulling the cables back.
- Screw the housing alternately with the M4 x 30 mm screws until the gap is almost evenly closed
- Tighten the cable gland nut. Check the tightness by pulling on the cable.
- Ensure a straight and tension-free cable section in the cable entry area.
- If the unit is exposed to water or rain, it is advisable to provide a U-shaped drain elbow after the straight cable entry.
Wireless Network connection
The CorivaSat can be connected wirelessly to the corporate network with Open
Wi-Fi, WPA2, WPA3, WPA Enterprise EAP-TLS or PEAPv0/EAP-MSCHAPV2 security.
Please refer to the documentation: https://portal.coriva.io The 24 V DC
power supply is necessary for Wi-Fi connection.
Operation
After the CorivaSat is powered and connected with the LAN, it will receive an
IP address and try to discover Omlox Air 8 interface compliant devices.
Optical status
The LED indicates the following status of the CorivaSat:
Please note that the LED signaling as well as the states depend on the
firmware implementation of the CorivaSat and might change over time. For the
latest release, see https://portal.coriva.io/
Buttons
There are two buttons on the connection field on the top.
- Button ‘B’: Restart button – to restart the device (no settings are getting lost)
- Button ‘A’: User button – has multiple functions (see table below):
Reset of the Device
Resetting the connection settings or loading the factory settings always
requires a new setup of the device in the RTLS and should only be performed by
qualified persons.
Please note that the user button functionality depends on the firmware implementation of the CorivaSat and might change over time. For the latest release, see https://portal.coriva.io/

Technical Data
Radio systems and environment
The CorivaSat has several integrated antennas for data transmission and Tag
localization.
These are located in the lower half of the housing:
- Two omlox radio frequency paths, each containing:
- IEEE 802.15.4z-compliant UWB transceiver, controller and antenna to communicate over UWB Channel 9 at ~8 GHz to enable UWB-based (“In-Band”) tracking
- IEEE 802.15.4-compliant ISM transceiver, controller and two antennas to enable Out-of-Band (OoB) communication to enable offloading nontracking data communication such as discovery, device orchestration and over-the-air-updates for tags
- WiFi RF path, containing
- IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n-compliant module and antenna, enabling WiFibased data backbone between RTLS satellite and a CorivaEngine via a Wifi Access Point on 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz bands For high positioning accuracy and stable data transmission, it is important to mount the CorivaSat where it can be seen from the neighboring Satellites and from the mobile devices to be located (tags/mobiles) and to constantly ensure this.
Radio Systems are influenced by their environment
Ceiling structures or other obstacles made of metal, reinforced concrete, or
other shielding or absorbing materials can strongly influence the radio
characteristics and thus limit the function of the tracking system.
