Meet the AP + RTLS Convergence Era — Partner with P-Square to Build the Next Generation of Enterprise High-Precision Access Points

Global networking leaders are converging on integrated Wi-Fi + UWB / BLE positioning. P-Square offers flexible modules, USB dongle expansion and software-hardware integration so you can move quickly into the smart factory, healthcare and long-term care positioning markets.

2. Industry Focus: Global Networking Leaders Are Defining the AP + RTLS Standard

Qorvo Embeds UWB into Enterprise Wi-Fi, Sharply Lowering the Barrier to High-Precision RTLS

RF chipset leader Qorvo has embedded UWB — supporting both the FiRa and Omlox standards — directly into enterprise Wi-Fi access points. This addresses a long-standing pain point: the high cost of deploying separate, dedicated anchors when building a real-time location system.

Technical highlights and market impact

Multi-radio integration: Wi-Fi 7, UWB and BLE coexisting in one device, demanding high antenna isolation, miniaturisation and multi-band coexistence design.
Lower operating and cabling cost: no separate positioning anchors — existing Wi-Fi infrastructure is upgraded in place.
A hardware refresh cycle: as the architecture spreads, a new wave of enterprise router and tag upgrades is expected.

Cisco Sets a High-Precision Standard: UWB Embedded Deep into Catalyst Enterprise APs

Cisco has embedded UWB into enterprise access points such as the Catalyst CW9166D1, integrating Wi-Fi 6E, BLE and UWB into a single hardware architecture and substantially simplifying the complexity and cabling cost of deploying a high-precision positioning network.

Technical detail and security

Standards compliance: conforms to IEEE 802.15.4z and FiRa Consortium specifications, ensuring interoperability across brands.
Strong security: Scrambled Timestamp technology guards against location spoofing and relay attacks, preventing ranging from being hijacked.
High-end applications: centimetre-level indoor navigation and asset management for demanding environments such as financial security and precision manufacturing.

3. Upgrade Pain Points for Networking Vendors, and What P-Square Offers

Facing the technology barriers set by international leaders, how can Taiwanese networking vendors, IPC makers and system integrators respond quickly to market demand?

What P-Square provides:

Hardware independent and highly compatible: No lock-in to a single expensive hardware platform. The algorithm supports BLE 4.0/5.0/6.0 Channel Sounding, Wi-Fi RSSI and UWB (ToA / PDOA).
Core algorithms protected by patents: Multiple Sensor-Fusion and AI Fingerprinting patents; measured positioning performance and stability outperform solutions from major international networking vendors.
Cost efficiency and flexible deployment: The proprietary Locator extension design substantially reduces the number of units and the hardware cost.

4. Flexible Partnership Models: Co-Creating a Win-Win

We offer several partnership mechanisms so networking and hardware vendors can upgrade their products as quickly as possible:

Partnership model	Who it suits	What it involves
USB dongle integration	Existing Wi-Fi AP / IPC / router vendors	No need to redesign the AP mainboard or antenna — a USB dongle plugged into existing equipment upgrades it with positioning capability.
Wi-Fi AP onboard integration	New-generation AP vendors / chipset makers	Embed the P-Square algorithm and software modules deep into the AP system for multi-radio Wi-Fi + BLE + UWB high-precision positioning.
Joint government project applications	Listed and pre-IPO companies, networking majors, system integrators	Combine both parties' strengths to apply for government positioning, AI and smart-facility technology grants, advancing development while reducing R&D risk.

5. Frequently Asked Questions

We are an existing AP vendor and do not want to change the mainboard design — can we still add positioning?

Yes. That is exactly what the USB dongle model solves — no redesign of the AP mainboard or antenna is required; a dongle plugged into existing equipment gives the product positioning capability, which is the fastest upgrade path for current models.

Does the algorithm lock us into a particular chipset or hardware?

No. Hardware independence is our core position: the same algorithm supports BLE 4.0/5.0/6.0 Channel Sounding, Wi-Fi RSSI and UWB (ToA / PDOA), so we can work with many classes of hardware vendor and you do not need to change your existing chipset solution.

How does positioning performance compare with international networking majors?

Measured positioning performance and stability outperform solutions from major international networking vendors. The difference lies in the algorithm rather than the hardware — AI Fingerprinting combined with structured map data improves accuracy by over 30% versus conventional trilateration in partitioned environments.

Does partnering mean buying modules from you?

No. Our position is that the partner owns the hardware and P-Square provides the algorithm and software modules, with both parties selling together or applying jointly for government grants. Taiwan's domestic market is limited and international channel costs are high, so sharing development and channel cost is the sensible model.
