AeroScout TM T2 Tag AeroScout TM System Overview The AeroScout T2 Tag is a component of the AeroScout Wireless LAN Location System, which adds accurate location capability to Wi-Fi wireless networks. AeroScout Tags extend the platform to locate equipment that is not Wi-Fi enabled. The AeroScout architecture stands out in several ways: • Locates tagged non-Wi-Fi assets. These small, rugged, battery- powered Wi-Fi tags can be attached to people and to a variety of equipment, such as medical devices, containers, manufacturing equipment and retail shopping carts. • No modifications to Wi-Fi mobile unit hardware or software. The AeroScout system also locates standard Wi-Fi clients such as laptops, PDAs, barcode scanners and other wireless devices. This eliminates a major management challenge and enables simple implementation in public environments. • No dedicated backbone network. All communications between Location Receivers and the AeroScout Location Server use standard Ethernet connections, and AeroScout achieves accurate measurement synchronization without the use of a dedicated backbone network. • Open development platform. The AeroScout System includes a set of tools for designing, testing and implementing enterprise-class location- based applications. AeroScout T2 Tag Key benefits Flexible asset and people location capability The AeroScout T2 Tag enables the wireless network infrastructure to locate people and assets otherwise not connected to a wireless network. The tag can be used to track people in many valuable applications - child tracking in amusement parks, security personnel in enterprises, hospital patients and many more. Various types of equipment can be tagged. These include vehicles in parking lots; inventory in a manufacturing line; containers, forklifts and other assets for efficient supply chain management; shopping carts in supermarkets; and medical equipment in hospitals. Long battery life A powerful, replaceable battery provides up to 3 years of battery life. The AeroScout Tag notifies Bluesoft’s Location Server when its battery is low, enabling efficient replacement and minimizing down time. The AeroScout T2 Tag can also be easily activated or deactivated for conserving battery power while inactive. Locate people and mobile equipment in Wi-Fi wireless environments: • Compact Enclosure • Flexible Mounting • Long Battery Life • Wireless Tag Programming PRELIMINARY DATA SHEET Copyright © 2004 Bluesoft, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Information is preliminary and subject to change without notice. Wi-Fi is a trademark of the Wi-Fi Alliance. AeroScout TM T2 Tag Key Benefits (cont.) Flexible Mounting The AeroScout T2 Tag is enclosed in a compact custom case and offers a variety of mounting options. By attaching a strap, the tag can be placed on a person’s wrist. Alternatively, a mounting plate is available for attaching the tag with a safety pin or clip. The tag can also be mounted directly on assets using adhesive tape or Velcro. The tag’s small size and weight allow mounting even on very small assets. Tag Programming The AeroScout T2 Tag can be programmed and activated either via a direct serial interface or a remote magnetic interface. Tag Programming allows for easy and efficient Tag configuration and activation. Compatibility and non- interference AeroScout Tags are 802.11 compatible. The tag’s 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. Rugged performance AeroScout Tags are designed to operate in challenging work environments, including manufacturing and outdoor areas. The tag enclosure is water-resistant and designed to withstand significant physical shocks and drops .

Introduction The AeroScout™ T2 Tag is a key component of the AeroScout™ Location System. These dedicated battery-powered Tags send 802.11b compatible messages at pre- defined intervals and can be attached to non-802.11b assets in order to locate them. Tags send messages with their unique ID number that are detected by Location Receivers and used to estimate the Tag’s location. The AeroScout T2 Tag enables the wireless network infrastructure to locate assets which by nature are not connected to a wireless network. 2. Detailed Description 2.1. HW Description The AeroScout T2 Tag HW includes 3 main sections: 1. RF Section – includes 2.4GHz ISM band DSSS Transceiver with a Power Amplifier and internal Antenna. 2. LF (Low Frequency) receiver – includes a 3D 125 KHz receiver with 2 axial coils for remotely Tag configuration. 3. Power and control – includes a microcontroller, voltage regulator and a 3.6 ½ AA Lithium battery. 2.2. Product Specifications Table 1 describes the AeroScout T2 Tag Spesifications Index Description 1 Frequency Band 2.412 to 2.462 GHz (channels 1-11) 2 Wireless Medium 802.11b: Direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS); 3 Modulation DSSS: DBPSK @ 1 Mbps 4 Transmit power 80mW (+19dBm) 5 Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) RSSI (Receive Signal Strength Indication) Detection < Threshold 6 Input Power 3.6 ½ AA Lithium battery 7 802.11b message length Up to 500μSec 8 Transmission Interval From 128mSec up to 3.5h Table 1 – product specifications AeroScout TM T2 Tag Operational Description 3 Bluesoft Confidential Proprietary 2.3. Operational Description The Tag is designed to transmit a short (7) 1 Mbit/s DBPSK (3) modulated 802.11b DSSS (2) compliance message which includes its MAC ID every preprogrammed interval (8) to be received by the AeroScout Location Receivers. The Tag Channel Frequency (1) and Transmission Interval (8) can be configured by its on-board serial interface or magnetically through its LF (125 KHz) Receiver. Before a message is being transmitted the Tag is sniffing (5) the channel, and in the case of no activity on this channel the Tag will transmit its short 802.11b message. In between messages transmissions the Tag circuitry is shut down and only a Real Time clock is active for time counting. Note: Numbers in brackets refer to Table 1 – product specifications
