Introduction

an effective and reliable Wi-Fi-based solution to guard against the threat of infant

abduction from hospitals. The T7a Tag is a small form factor Wi-Fi RFID device that

is designed to attach to infant's umbilical stub and to help prevent infant abductions

by alerting when the infant is carried close to an exit door. In addition, with the T7a

Tag infants can be accurately located in real-time and in any environment – from

tight indoor locations such as hospital floors to open outdoor spaces such as parking

lots.

Each infant wears a small form factor T7a which is attached to its umbilical cord

clamp. The MyChild system computer console displays floor plans of the facility,

showing monitored areas and protected exits. Should an attempt to leave the

through a unique beaconing method that keeps network impact low and ensures

scalability and long battery life.

T7 Tag Features

T7a Tags use any standard Wi-Fi network infrastructure, keeping costs low and

making deployments simple and fast. AeroScout tags are 802.11b compatible. The

tag’s clear channel sensing techniques avoid interference with Wi-Fi networks. The

use of the unlicensed 2.4GHz frequency band at low power levels ensures no

interference with other wireless equipment, making AeroScout tags safe for use with

extended and the tags provide instant notification and protection prior to the

enrollment. T7a Tag can also be easily deactivated in order to conserve battery

power.

The T7a Tag's rechargeable battery can provide power for an operating period of up

to 30 days before a recharge is needed. The tag periodically provides a report on the

battery level so that when the battery level runs low, it can be recharged efficiently

with minimum down time. AeroScout tags also include a smart mechanism that

records the tag activity and forms a profile of the tag's behavior. Based on those

statistics, the system constantly delivers the updated battery's capacity level the

undergoes different events such as the number of transmissions or the number of LF

AeroScout Tags are designed to stretch the battery life when it reaches low level in

order to prevent the tag from dying before the battery is replaced. When a tag's

battery reaches Low level, the tag will temporarily modify its configurations to

transmit in intervals of one second between each channel and one second between

repetitions. The original configurations will be restored once the battery is replaced

with a new one. It is recommended to change the batteries as soon as they reach Low

level.

AeroScout T7a Tags contain on-board motion sensors. The motion sensor can be

configured to trigger alerts. It also enables different transmission intervals for tags

when they are stationary or in motion – which reduces unnecessary network traffic

and conserves battery life.

be pre-programmed via the Tag Manager or programmed on the fly by an

AeroScout Exciter when a tag is in proximity to it. These messages can also be

transmitted in addition to the standard location messages (the tags can be either

configured to transmit one of the messages or triggered by an AeroScout Exciter to

transmit a specific message).

Using the AeroScout Exciter, the tag sends out specific location reports upon arrival

at chokepoints or gateways. The tag behavior can also be automatically modified

while passing through a chokepoint such as a doorway or gate. This includes

activating/deactivating tags or changing the tags’ transmission rate to accommodate
