2 Label Family Introduction
The SES-imagotag electronic shelf label family offers high-quality display options, operating with a
replaceable battery, thus working without any external power supply.
The performance of the labels (updates per hour) depends on the mode of the access point. In the
USA and Canada the AP-2010 usa/canada bundle incl. antenna with limited data efficiency is
required (based on the FCC/ICregulation).
