AeroScout Exciters:

Choke-Point Location and Presence Detection

 

The AeroScout Exciter extends the AeroScout system to provide robust and sophisticated RFID detection capabilities, using the same Wi-Fi-based Active RFID tags that can also be accurately located in real time by the AeroScout system.

The Exciter triggers AeroScout's tags as they pass through a choke point to transmit a message that is received by a standard Wi-Fi Access Point or AeroScout Location Receiver. This provides instant knowledge that a tagged asset or person passed through a gate, doorway or some other tightly defined area. The detection capabilities of the Exciter, combined with the location features of the AeroScout software, make the AeroScout suite the most sophisticated enterprise visibility solution for a wide variety of industries.

 

Key features include:

  • Long range RFID detection of AeroScout tags, triggering them to transmit as they pass through a defined area. Exciters have up to a 6m (18 ft) programmable range, enough to cover wide gate areas.

  • Tag behavior modification:
    - Wireless activation and deactivation of tags. Tag battery life can be extended further by switching them off when they leave a defined tracking area through a gate or doorway;
    - Change of tag transmission rate for a temporary or indefinite time to accommodate different usage patterns in various physical spaces.

  • Sophisticated messaging functions provide the ability to use the Exciter to store messages on the tag for later transmission. Message transmission can later be triggered by other Exciters, enabling sophisticated process control functions. Exciters can trigger a tag to:
    - Send up to 10 bytes of data
    - Transmit one of 10 pre-stored messages
    - Send and store up to 10 bytes of data

  • Ethernet connectivity for centralized programming, monitoring and software updates by the AeroScout Engine System Manager.
  • Multiple sizes and ranges fit a variety of customer needs
