Abstract

A locator system to be associated with a mobile person includes a receiver to receive ultra-wide bandwidth signals and a transmitter to transmit ultra-wide bandwidth signals. The transmitter is adapted to transmit ultra-wide bandwidth signals, and the receiver is adapted to receive ultra-wide bandwidth signals from at least one other locator system. The other locator system includes a receiver to receive ultra-wide bandwidth signals and a transmitter to transmit ultra-wide bandwidth signals. The locator system and the at least one other locator system provide a distance between the locator system and the at least one other locator system so that the locator system can be located without establishing a reference ultra-wide bandwidth locator system. The locator system can be adapted to be in a low-power mode until activated upon communication of an activation signal to the locator system. A safety system is adapted to be associated with a mobile person and includes a locator system including a receiver to receive ultra-wide bandwidth signals and a transmitter to transmit ultra-wide bandwidth signals. The safety system further includes a telemetric communication system adapted to communicate telemetric data and sensor system including at least one sensor adapted to measure at least one parameter. The locator system is adapted to be in a low-power mode until activated upon communication of an activation signal to the locator system. The locator system transmits ultra-wide bandwidth signals periodically and receives periodic ultra-wide bandwidth signals from at least one other like locator system upon activation.
