Active UHF Beacon Tag i-B2M Microtag The Microtag is part of the beacon generation (i-B) of IDENTEC SOLUTIONS Intelligent Long Range
(ILR) active RFID tags. Built on IDENTEC SOLUTIONS patented high-performance technology, the Microtag provides impressive long-range capabilities for wireless applications that require the benefits provided by beacon tags. Static data is written on an Microtag and is continuously sent at a programmable interval (ping rate) without being requested by a reader. The i-B series offers an attractive price for continuous tag collection in specific scenarios such as:
Access control
Tracking of Vehicles and Containers
Online inventory
Localization of assets or personnel at specific areas
(i.e. gates, dock doors) Using advanced UHF radio frequency technology, Microtags send data at distances of up to 70 meters (230 feet). There are mobile
(handhelds) or fixed solutions (interrogators) available. Due to the ultra-low power consumption and configurable ping rate (one second to four minutes), the Microtag can effectively operate maintenance-free for many years. The Microtag is the most economical choice for basic long-range technology and is ideal for tracking mobile assets in more stable, predictable environments. Features Benefits
Up to 70 meter read range Allows the longest read-range for identification and tracking using beacon technology.
Long battery lifetime long time maintenance-free Delivers operation, without battery replacement. The battery lifetime depends on the ping rate, which is configurable. Ping-Rate 1s 2s Durability (Years) 2 4
UHF operating frequencies Tags are available for both standard North American and European ISM band frequencies.
Non-line-of-sight data transmission Allows tags to be identified without the need of visual contact.
Automatic transmission Tags do not have to be woken they transmit automatically.
Industrial housing Durable in demanding environments.
Customizable ping rate Ensures that the frequency band is not busy.
