W2E-ITAGV16Wireless GPS tracking device using 802.15.4

iControl Incorporated http://www.iControl‐Inc.com iTAG Module Integrated iTAG With Enclosure iTAG Reader utilizing an Internal iTAG Module iTAG Module Operating Manual Background. The iTAG is 2.4GHz bi‐directional radio transceiver that is integrated with a GPS receiver, motion detecting sensor, and non‐volatile flash memory for data storage. A User may configure the device to operate as a Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) for tracking shipping containers in a worldwide supply chain using the Marine Asset Tag Tracking System (MATTS) communication protocol. An iTAG module utilizes a low power, wireless, radio operating in the 2.4 GHz band as its primary mode of communication. The wireless radio operates in compliance with IEEE Standard 802.15.4‐2006. The iTAG GPS receiver is User configurable to periodically determine the iTAG’s global location using data from the USAF GPS constellation. The module may operate as stand alone device or may be used as a radio and GPS receiver for communication devices that are apart of large systems or security devices. The User interface for the module is via a twenty (20) pin connector on the bottom of the module. Figure 1 iTAG Devices iControl Incorporated http://www.iControl‐Inc.com iTAG Radio Operation. The iTAG is controlled via a serial port interface for initial configuration and checkout. All commands for controlling the radio are identified in the iTAG Command List. Once a User as completed the initial iTAG configuration, complete control and operation of the iTAG can be accomplished through the radio link interface using the same commands available in the iTAG Command List. The radio in the iTAG is nominally operated in a power saving mode with the receiver periodically enabled and “listening” for commands or data requests. A key element to the power saving mode is the principle of “tag‐talks‐last”. In this mode, battery power is conserved by only responding to messages that are sent directly to the specific iTAG MAC address or mutual broadcast address. For a majority of iTAG operation, the iTAG is in a deep power saving mode (~98% of the time). The iTAG will only transmit when it receives a properly encrypted message during its receiver active period. The encrypted message directed to the iTAG may include information about which channel the iTAG should use for further transmissions. Once, the communication parameters are exchanged, there will typically be a period a several seconds of active radio transmission as the iTAG relays data. The data transmitted may either be security data destined for government servers, and/or commercial data destined for the end customer. This data may originate from internal flash storage or it may be received and relayed from another compatible device. Other Components. In addition to the wireless radio, several other electronic devices are used by the iTAG. 1. The low‐power GPS receiver is powered periodically to receive GPS signals. The GPS receiver is typically powered for less than one minute per hour; however the frequency of GPS fixes is highly configurable to accommodate a variety of requirements and may vary based on other inputs. 2. A low‐power MEMS accelerometer is used to detect motion. Using a patent pending process, the iTAG utilize the motion detection sensor to establish if a new GPS fix is required. 3. Analog signals may be monitored to detect security related information (e.g. temperature, enclosure breach, installation security etc.) 4. Two RS‐232 serial UARTs are available for the User to communicate data to the module from secondary systems to transmit data via the radio transceiver. iControl Incorporated http://www.iControl‐Inc.com Functional Block Diagram. The iTAG module integrates a GPS receiver, a 2.4Ghz radio, and a low power microprocessor . The iTAG module also includes a software User interface that provides commands for controlling the radio functions, sending data, retrieving GPS location , and uploading stored data. Note: Please refer to the iTAG Command List for a complete list of operating commands that control the iTAG module. The iTAG module is equipped with an integrated trace antenna rated at 3.0 dBi. Most embedded mobile applications will utilize the integral antenna provided with the iTAG module. Optionally, a micro coax connector may be utilized to connect external antenna to the iTAG module. iControl can provide iTAG modules with external antenna connectors that are certified and licensed for external antenna operations. NOTE: Users may not modify the antenna or it’s connection in anyway or risk violating radio law.
