UWB locating system having a data network connection component transmitting in parallel

A locating system for determining a position of an object with an ultra-wideband (UWB) mobile unit, the locating system comprising:

• a plurality of first UWB anchors configured to locate the object;
• a communication radio network comprising a plurality of data network connection components, wherein each first UWB anchor of the plurality of first UWB anchors is arranged in a respective one of the plurality of data network connection components;
• and
• at least one second UWB anchor;
• wherein the plurality of data network connection components is configured for parallel transmission of data streams of the plurality of first UWB anchors, and, in parallel with the transmission of the data streams of the plurality of first UWB anchors and independent of the locating system, transmitting an additional data stream of the at least one second UWB anchor, and
• wherein the plurality of UWB anchors is connected to a two-wire-bus-system, wherein the two-wire-bus system is used for transmitting on/off control commands for installation or maintenance of the plurality of UWB anchors.
