The SMN-890 SmartNODE
TM
RFID Receiver is an integral component of
the SmartSense Wireless Vital Signs and Location Tracking System. The
system is designed for wireless and automated measurement and
recording of patient vital signs and for location tracking of patients and
high-value assets.
The SMN-890 will periodically transmit IR beacon signal. This beacon
signal consists of unique location ID. This location will be received by tags
which are in range. IR signal are much localized which give better location
tracking determination.
The SMN-890 SmartNODE
TM
RFID Receiver is a LAN-enabled receiver for
receiving data transmitted by the SmartSense
TM
series of wireless sensors
and monitors. The receiver uploads data received from the sensors to the
SmartSense
TM
database via its built in Ethernet LAN interface.
In a typical installation, the receivers are to be installed at strategic
locations in the hospital in a manner to meet the specific coverage
requirement of the application. The receivers being Ethernet LAN capable
lend themselves well to deployment using standard Ethernet LAN
equipment and infrastructure.
