GAO Offers Active RFID UHF Beacon Tag

Published 22nd September 2008

Toronto, Canada – GAO RFID Inc. (www.GAORFID.com)provides a new active UHF beacon tag. This beacon tag is a cost-effective long-range active RFID tag appropriate for tracking mobile assets, controlling access or online inventory, and localizing of assets or personnel in designated areas. It offers outstanding long-range capabilities for wireless applications.

Static data are written on the tag and are sent at a programmable interval without requiring a request from the reader. The tag uses advanced UHF radio frequency technology and sends data to a mobile (handheld) or fixed reader (interrogator) at distances of up to 300 feet (100 meters). Its ultra-low power consumption and configurable ping rate enables it to operate effectively for many years without additional maintenance.

“Active RFID technologies offer many benefits over passive technologies for certain applications”, says, Dr. Frank Gao, CEO of GAO Group, “these new active tags take full advantage of such benefits.”

GAO’s active UHF Beacon Tag provides the following features:
 It has a range of 100 meters, allowing the longest read-range for identification and tracking using beacon technology.
 Its long battery lifetime can deliver very-long time maintenance-free operation.
 Non-line-of-sight data transmission offers great convenience.
 Tags are available for both standard North American and European ISM band frequencies.
 It also provides a selectable ping rate to avoid a busy band.
 Low costs.
