AeroScout T2s Tag
T2s Tag Features 7
Ultrasound Receiver
The T2s Tag can be equipped with an ultrasound receiverthat picks up the ultrasound
transmissions of EX4100 and EX4200 Ultrasound Exciters. The tag transmits the Exciter ID
over the Wi-Fi network. The tag is equipped with a proprietary dilution algorithm that
extends battery life.
Flexible Mounting and Usage Options
A wide variety of mounting options are available for AeroScout T2s Tags – screw mounts,
adhesives, cradle, lanyard, badge clip, belt clip, Velcro and tie-wraps, and wrist straps. An
optional cradle allows mounting the tag on a wide array of assets and in various
environments.
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 T2s Tag can also
be easily deactivated in order to conserve battery power.
Tag Management
The T2s 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 T2s Tag can store up to 15 messages of 15 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.
