Figure 1- 2. Anchor orientation
The placement of a particular anchor should be chosen to maximize the line of sight
between this anchor and as many other anchors as possible. All anchors must also
maintain line of sight with coordinator and sniffer.
In general, a minimum of 6 anchors is needed to enable the 3-D localization of a drone
within your space, but you may need to install more anchors to improve the accuracy and
redundancy of your network.
When placing anchors on the ceiling and floor planes, we recommend choosing the
placement so as to diversify the X and Y coordinates of anchors in the network. (See the
below figure for an anchor placement example).
Figure 1- 3. Optimal placement of anchors
We recommend that the anchors be installed vertically, with the anchors on the ground
antennas pointing up and anchors on the ceiling antennas pointing down.
