Introduction

The Modular Ubitag V2.0HH is a wireless module intended to be integrated into other devices for
the real-time location of hand-held objects. It transmits ultra-wideband (UWB) pulses which are
picked up by a network of basestations (Ubisensors), allowing the 3D position of the tag to be
found. The use of UWB technology enables greater positioning accuracy than other wireless
technologies, because it is much less susceptible to multipath interference effects. Applications of
the system include healthcare, workplace productivity, security, retail management and
manufacturing.

This document describes the features and specifications of the Modular Ubitag and important
regulatory information concerning its use and integration into other devices.

a fixed infrastructure.

The use of antennas mounted on outdoor structures, e.g., antennas mounted on the outside
of a building or on a telephone pole, or any fixed outdoors infrastructure is prohibited.
Antennas may be mounted only on the hand held UWB device.

The user’s manual or instruction manual shall caution the user that changes or modifications to
the equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for the grant of equipment
authorization issued by the FCC could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment under
the grant of equipment authorization, for example:
