4 base stations cover around 8x8 meters of flying space and if it was possible to add more base stations larger flying
spaces could be used. The lighthouse positioning system currently supports only 4 base stations, but most of the code

We have tested with 4 lighthouse base stations, which cover around 8x8x3 meters of flying space. It is possible to add more base stations to cover larger flying spaces. The firmware is compile with support for 4 base stations by default, but should be able to work with up to 16. This guide will outline the necessary steps to set up a larger
system. Please first consult the
["Getting started with the Lighthouse system"](https://www.bitcraze.io/documentation/tutorials/getting-started-with-lighthouse/)
guide on our web to get a good understanding of basic use.

The protocol in lighthouse 2 does not use the same frame concept and there is no need for frame sync.

The lighthouse V2 protocol supports more than 2 base stations. There's currently experimental support implemented for 2+ base stations, for more information please see [the 2+ base station documentation](/docs/functional-areas/lighthouse/multi_base_stations.md).
The lighthouse V2 protocol supports more than 2 base stations, up to 4 in the standard firmware. There is currently support implemented for 4+ base stations, for more information please see [the 4+ base station documentation](/docs/functional-areas/lighthouse/multi_base_stations.md).

## Position estimation methods
There are currently two ways of calculating the position using the lighthouse.
