The Aquila Research Corporation ARCT110 Tag’ is designed to transmit a unique Tag Identification number using an active radio frequency carrier. The unit is completely self contained and utilizes a high reliability Lithium cell for its power source.

Using a high 2Mbs data link the tag time-on-air is very short and reduces potential congestion and power consumption. A 'Motion Detect' feature is built in, this

ARCT110 Multipurpose RFID Tag Active Tag

Specs And Features:

senses if the tag is moving or not. This information is used to reduce the period of Active Tag ID retransmission in order to save battery life. The unit also includes a 'Battery Status Reporting' feature that allows the user to monitor the battery life. This reporting tool indicates the battery life in steps of 200mV, allowing the user to accurately predict and schedule a service of the Lithium battery cell. The custom re-enter-able enclosure allows on-site service of the battery.

An accelerometer is used to provide advanced features such as Free-Fall detection and Tap or Double-Tap events.  

Two signaling devices can be optionally included to provide either vibration or sound for special applications.

The unit is capable of reliable performance within the harsh operating environment typically encountered in commercial environments.

An advanced custom designed antenna ensures reliable performance when close to metal or a human body. The electronic components are sealed using conformal coating and a custom enclosure.

Due to bi-directional communications the applications include both tag-to-tag or more common tag-to-reader scenarios.

Tag-to-tag is great for applications where parents are wanting to monitor their children in busy places.
