A UWB indoor positioning setup is priced part by part. The total depends on three things: how many anchors cover your space, how many tags you track, and how the data reaches your software.
This guide uses GrowSpace Q1 prices in USD. Every price below includes international shipping. Import duties are paid by the buyer, and PayPal is accepted.
What does each UWB part cost?
| Part | Price | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Q1 Anchor | $175 | Fixed reference node on a wall or ceiling |
| Developer Tag | $175 | Compact tag that outputs its own position over serial |
| Wearable Tag | $222 | Neck-worn tag for tracking people |
| Asset Tag | $277 | High-capacity tag for carts, tools and vehicles |
| Q1 Listener | $175 | USB receiver that passes tag positions to a PC |
| Q1 Gateway | $462 | Sends positions to a server over MQTT |
| Bracket | $14 | Mounts an anchor to a wall or ceiling |
Two kits bundle the common setups. The Creator Kit Q1 costs $875 and includes three anchors, a developer tag, a listener and the configuration software. The Creator Expansion Kit costs $1,337 and includes four anchors, a gateway and a developer tag.
How many anchors do you need?
Anchors drive most of the cost. Get this number right first.
Three anchors give you a flat X-Y position. Four let you calculate height as well. Keep anchors within about 15 m of each other indoors and at least 2 m apart. A single room usually works with three or four. A larger floor needs more, laid out in overlapping groups.
Metal shelving and glass walls reflect UWB signals. In a warehouse or factory, plan a little extra anchor density near those surfaces.
Listener or gateway?
This choice changes the price by almost $300. It depends on how many tags you run.
The listener plugs into one computer over USB. It suits a single robot, a lab bench or early development. The gateway connects over Wi-Fi or LAN and publishes every tag’s position over MQTT. It handles 15 tags at 10 Hz or 150 tags at 1 Hz. Once you track several robots or people at once, the gateway saves you a pile of USB cables.
What do typical setups cost?
Here are three common builds, priced from the list above.
A 2D prototype in one room runs on the Creator Kit alone. That is $875 for three anchors, one tag and a listener.
A small robot fleet that also needs height calls for the Expansion Kit at $1,337. Add a developer tag at $175 for each extra robot. Three robots come to $1,687.
A worker safety pilot tracking ten people needs the Expansion Kit plus nine more wearable tags. That totals $1,337 + $1,998 = $3,335. The kit’s developer tag stays handy for testing.
Why not just buy a bare UWB module?
Bare UWB modules cost far less per unit. They also arrive without firmware for ranging, anchor configuration or position output.
With a kit, the tags already calculate their own coordinates and print them as text. You skip weeks of firmware work and go straight to your application. For a quick feasibility test, that time matters more than the part price.
FAQ
Are the prices per unit?
Yes. Every part is priced per unit, and each kit is priced as one bundle.
Do the prices include shipping?
International shipping is included. Import duties and taxes in your country are paid by the buyer.
Can I start small and add parts later?
Yes. Start with the Creator Kit, then add anchors, tags or a gateway as the project grows. Every part works with the same system.
Next step
Count your space and your tags first. Then pick the Creator Kit or the Expansion Kit as a base and add parts from there. If you want a quote for a specific floor plan, send it through the kit page.
