The wristband Tag can be used to track people and monitor assets in an office, warehouse, or any other type of facility. For example, wristband Tags can be configured to monitor newborns in a hospital, track patients in a nursing home, or even locate firemen in a smoke-filled building - basically any application that requires system monitoring of people. Wristband tags can even be used to monitor inventory items by attaching around the arms of chairs, the handles of a car, etc.

Typically, the wristband Tag remains in sleep mode until it receives a wake up command from a Reader or Field Generator. If the command is intended for this tag (specific address or broadcast), then the tag will awaken and transmit its ID and other information to an assigned system Reader.

The tag can also be configured to automatically wake up at predefined intervals, transmit its information to the system, then go back to sleep to conserve battery life.

Unique anti-collision algorithms are used to ensure that all tag data is received, even when multiple tags are transmitting at the same time. To guarantee that all data remains accurate, all tag packets use reliable cyclic redundancy checks.

Several wristband Tag versions are available, each supporting a wake up frequency of 433 MHz and transmit frequency of 916 or 868 MHz. An optional temperature sensor can send periodic temperature readings to the system. When the temperature of a tagged item exceeds predefined thresholds, the tag automatically sends alarms to the system. Other wristband Tag options include an LED, tamper switch, and various amounts of user memory ranging from 0 to 256Kbits. Even more peripheral options may be added to satisfy your application needs.
