The T3 tag is a small, flat, Wi-Fi, active RFID device that enables the wireless network infrastructure to locate assets not connected to a wireless network. The tag can be attached to mobile equipment such as vehicles in parking lots, inventory in a manufacturing line, containers, forklifts and medical equipment in hospitals. The tag can also be used to track people - security personnel hospital patients, and many more. Figure 1. AeroScout T3 tag T3 Tag Features Flat-Form Factor The AeroScout T3 tag is lightweight, flat device that can easily be incorporated into existing equipment and concealed, and can be comfortably carried by people. Flexible Mounting and Usage Options The tag is supplied with a variety of mounting options. It can be mounted on flat hard surfaces using special holes for screws, adhesive tape or Velcro. It can be mounted on cylindrical forms (such as poles) using tie-wraps. It can be hanged on a pocket using a badge clip, or on the carrier’s neck using a band. An optional cradle is also available, enabling the indirect mounting of the tag on various assets. Call Buttons T3 tags include two call buttons, a large one and a small one, that can be configured to send standard tag messages when the buttons are pressed or released. 6 | T3 Tag Features The tag can be configured to send different data depending on how the buttons are pressed: different messages can be associated with a long push of the buttons and with short, successive pushes. Each call button can be configured to serve a different purpose according to the organization’s needs. Motion Sensing T3 tags are shipped with on-board motion sensors that report when it starts to move and whether it is in motion or not. The motion sensor can be used to define tag behavior when in motion or when at rest. Temperature Sensing T3 tags can optionally be equipped with temperature sensors that can report the temperature measured in the vicinity of the tag. Temperature can also be reported if the temperature exceeds pre-defined thresholds. Long Battery Life A powerful, replaceable battery provides power for a period of up to 4 years (depending on the tag’s transmission interval). The tag periodically provides a report on the battery level so that when the battery level runs low, it can be replaced efficiently with minimum down time. Replacing the battery is simple and done using a special battery compartment remo…

These dedicated battery-powered Tags send Wi-Fi compatible messages at pre-defined intervals and can be attached to non-Wi-Fi 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. In the typical operation the Tag wakes up every predefined interval and sniffs the air interface in order to detect 802.11b transmissions (RSSI detection). If the air is free, the Tag transmits its preprogrammed 802.11b message (1 Mbps, DBPSK modulation). The Tag includes a low frequency magnetic receiver for remote control activation or detection by Exciter in programmable pre-defined range.
