Location Sensing

Simply Connected

​

Location sensing technologies are a critical component to many applications. In addition to GNSS, this page will feature angle of arrival (AoA) and angle of departure (AoD) technologies like Ultra Wideband (UWB) and Bluetooth direction finding, as well as short range Radar and other location aware technologies. DigiKey offers location chips, integrated modules and modems, asset tracking solutions, antennas and much more for any design.

If you are looking for the ability to track an object indoors or out, detect presence, introduce autonomous navigation and more, we offer the broadest offering in our industry of product and resources you need to get started.
