3-G Wi-Fi Tags For RTLS
A new 3G Wi-Fi tag is now available from Ekahau Inc., provider of Wi-Fi-based RTLS solutions. T301-A, the third-generation Wi-Fi tag that can track assets and people through Ekahau RTLS, has a new design with a tamper switch, a motion sensor, two call buttons for setting off other applications, and battery life of up to five years. The tag is smaller than its predecessors, and is built using new technology that has the double advantage of improving functionality while reducing the deployment costs for real-time location systems (RLTS). The tag lowers total cost of ownership because of its inherent unique two-way communications capabilities that allow remote device management. IP Communications reports:
Ekahau is the first company to go to market with a tag that utilizes the "System-on-a-Chip" (SoC) from G2 Microsystems Inc. The SoC is an ultra low-power solution that is designed for active RFID and RTLS applications. As a result of a very high integration level, the G2 Microsystems' chip significantly increases the battery life and reduces the cost of a Wi-Fi based RTLS tag.
