Technology Advantages and Innovation

  • 24 hour monitoring of multiple tagged items within an area that is legitimately occupied for all or part of a day without the need to change day/night system settings required by systems such as Passive Infrared sensors
  • Immediate notification of an alarm condition when a tag changes position, is destroyed or masked
  • Ultra efficient energy and communication management give tags a long battery life, long range and low cost
  • High reliability as the tags are not affected by vibrations or external radio interference thereby eliminating false alarms
  • Low maintenance achieved through robust solid-state design and long battery life
  • Ease and Flexibility of Installation applies to a simple stand-alone implementation or when integrated into existing systems.
  • Economic Ownership compared to other wireless solutions that are less flexible. A small system and be expanded by simply adding more tags

Intellectual Property Rights

The core technology relating to the change in position of a wireless tag is patented (WO0019235). Further patent applications are pending.

[Any wireless system where it is planned to use a change in signal characteristic between an RFID tag and a detector/sensor to detect a change in position of a tag will probably fall within the scope of this patent].
