T2 Tag Features | 7
Flexible Mounting and Usage Options
The tag’s small size and weight, and convenient form factor, allow
mounting on people and a variety of assets. Mounting accessories include
wrist band, badge clip and mounting cradle. Other industry-specific
mounting accessories are available, including infusion pump mounting
accessories, fixed and temporary trailer mounts and more.
Long Battery Life
A powerful, replaceable battery provides power for a period of up to 4
years. The Tag periodically provides a report on the battery level so that
when the battery level runs low, it can be replaced efficiently with minimum
down time. The AeroScout T2 Tag can also be easily deactivated in order to
conserve battery power.
Tag Management
The T2 Tag can be programmed via a wireless interface using the
AeroScout Tag Activator. Together with the AeroScout Tag Manager
software it allows for easy and efficient Tag configuration, activation or
deactivation and programming.
Tag Programmability and Storage
The T2 Tag can store up to 10 messages of 10 bytes each. These messages
can either be pre-programmed via the Tag Manager or programmed on the
fly by an AeroScout Exciter when a tag is in proximity to it. These messages
can also be transmitted in addition to the standard location messages (the
tags can be either configured to transmit one of the messages or triggered
by an AeroScout Exciter to transmit a specific message).
Active RFID Functionality
Using the AeroScout Exciter, the tag sends out specific location reports
upon arrival at chokepoints or gateways. The tag behavior can also be
automatically modified while passing through a chokepoint such as a
doorway or gate. This includes activating/deactivating tags or changing the
tags’ transmission rate to accommodate different usage patterns.
Compatibility and Non-interference
AeroScout Tags are 802.11b compatible. The tag’s clear channel sensing
techniques avoid interference with Wi-Fi networks. The use of the
unlicensed 2.4GHz frequency band at low power levels ensures no
interference with other wireless equipment, making AeroScout tags safe for
use with such sensitive equipment as medical devices in a hospital.
Rugged Performance
AeroScout Tags are designed to function in harsh work environments and
weather conditions. The tag enclosure is water-resistant and designed to
withstand significant physical shocks.
