Introduction
The Ciholas DWETH101 is an Ethernet device that relies on ultra-wideband (UWB) pulses
and time-stamp information to capture real-time location and sensor data. The DWETH101
can receive UWB pulses from objects of interest and transmit time-sync data in real time. The
DWETH101 is positioned around an area in which tracking and data collection are desired.
The DWETH101s are small and easily movable allowing for quick setup and tear-down before
and after use. This makes the Ciholas DWETH101s an ideal solution for fast and accurate
real-time tracking.

Regulatory Information
FCC Notice (For US Customers):
FCC ID: 2ALIR-DWETH101
Model: DWETH101
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.
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
Note: 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 or more 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/television technician to help.
Changes and modifications not expressly approved by Ciholas, Inc. can void your authority to
operate this equipment under Federal Communications Commissions rules.

Usage Instructions
Overview
The DWETH101 receives real-time UWB beacons from tags attached to an object of interest.
These beacons are used to calculate the real-time location. The DWETH101 is capable of
receiving real-time data from UWB tags or interfacing with other DWETH101s placed around
the tracking area in order to calculate real-time position and collect sensor data. The
DWETH101 is a standard Ethernet device and is powered via daisy-chainable passive-power
injection.
Placement
The DWETH101 devices should be distributed throughout the desired tracking area. To
achieve a higher precision of position tracking within an area a higher density of DWETH101s
can be used.
