seconds. This needs to be kept in mind if urgent messages need to be sent to the tag. When the
tag receives a new message, a small notification sound is played.
It is possible to send 160 character long instant messages and standard messages to the B4 tag.
In Ekahau Vision the message size is limited to 40 characters as the message includes additional
location information. The maximum number of messages that can be saved to the tags memory
depends on the length of the messages. For example, the tag can save 9 messages that are 100
character long and 15 messages with 50 characters.
