The anchors and tags are made up of some main components as described in the table below. The main difference is that the anchors have 180° of the antenna shielded in order to allow mounting on walls and ceilings without changing the antenna properties from reflections, other than that the tags contains a high precision IMU for sensor fusion in order to improve the velocity estimates.

| a cortex-m0 processor from ST (STM32f072) | a cortex-m3 processor from ST (STM32f103) |
| an UWB device (DWM1000) | an UWB device (DWM1000) |

Connectivity
The system contains a number of potential ways to extract information. It is possible to connect to the anchors through a UART serial port, a virtual serial port on the USB port, or SWD via eg. openOCD (GDB). In the same way the tags can be reached through the UART port, a virtual serial port through the USB port, SWD or I2C. The next generation of the tags are supposed to SPI extracted from the uC as well for improved connectivity to eg. a robot.
