OVERVIEW ADM is a remote data collection device used to provide accurate last mile mail delivery measurements. The ADM is placed inside a mailbox or above a mail door slot. When a test letter (letter that contain a tag) is placed in the proximity of an ADM, the tag inside the envelope is excited and its unique ID is read. The ID and the time of read are then transmitted to a backend application over the GSM network using SMS. The ADM concept is illustrated in Figure 1.

MODES OF OPERATION The ADM has two modes of operation: a) normal mode (power saving), b) continuous mode: a) In normal mode, the unit is in sleep most of the time. It wakes-up regularly, based on a Read Time Table (RTT). The RTT specifies the frequency of reads (e.g. every five minutes) during a specific time interval (e.g. 8 hours). The RTT spans over 24 hours. One can define up to eight time intervals in 24 hours; each interval can have a different read frequency. In power saving mode, a read cycle can also be triggered by vibration/shock/motion (if the vibration sensor is enabled). The power saving mode is recommended for mailbox installation. b) In continuous mode, the ADM is on all the time. The exciter generates continuously low power LF field designed to catch test letters that are momentarily in the proximity of the unit. This mode is intended for door slot installations. One can combine power saving mode and continuous mode in the RTT. As an example, an ADM can read tags continuously from 7:00AM to 4:00PM, every 10 minutes from 4:00PM to 9:00PM and no reads from 9:00PM to 7:00AM next day. 3. FUNCTIONAL ARCHITECTURE Essentially, the ADM is a battery powered, active RFID reader equipped with a GSM modem. It performs the following main operations: a) Generates LF excitation field b) Receives UHF signal from tags c) Transmits data and status information ove…
