The Exciter extends the AeroScout suite to provide robust and sophisticated RFID detection capabilities, using the same AeroScout tags that can also be accurately located in real time by the AeroScout system. The Exciter triggers AeroScout’s T2 tags as they pass through a choke point, and those transmit a message to AeroScout Location Receiver(s) in range. This provides instant acknowledgment that a tagged asset passed through a gate, doorway or some other well-defined area. The detection capabilities of the Exciter, combined with the location features of the AeroScout Location System, make the AeroScout suite the most sophisticated enterprise visibility solution for a wide variety of industries. Figure 1: Exciter positioned at choke point triggering a tag Application and Industry Examples High value asset tracking Health care facilities and general enterprises can tag valuable assets that are intended to stay within a certain area. The AeroScout system can track the location of those assets, and if they leave through an exit or enter a restricted area, the Exciter triggers a tag message. Process control Manufacturing and supply chain facilities can track the location and presence of equipment and in-process inventory as it moves through the production process. This gives an enterprise a real-time view of which (and how many) assets have passed each step in the process, enabling better supply chain management. Features | 5 Inventory management Logistics and manufacturing enterprises can automatically update inventory records as inventory enters and leaves the warehouse, ensuring real-time knowledge of levels without manual checks or physical scanning. Security applications Government agencies and enterprises can tag secure assets and people that are restricted to certain areas or require historical location…

The Exciter is a 125 kHz transmitter, which is powered from a 100- 240VAC source. The Exciter can be connected to the AeroScout server for dynamically configuration and monitoring or can act as standalone Exciter with no connection to the server. The Exciter is a 125 kHz ASK modulated Beacon which transmits the same message in a preprogrammed interval. The messages that the Exciter transmits cause the AeroScout tag to wakeup and transmit a reply message to the AeroScout location Receivers.
