Product Description
The Tag is a wireless device that is attached to equipment so that the equipment may
be located by the Awarepoint system. The Tags transmits short messages periodically which
are received by the Awarepoint sensors. The sensors measures the signal strength of the
message transmission carrier and transmits this data (tag ID and signal strength) to the bridge
via the mesh network created by the plurality of sensors. The bridge communicates with the
tags on its wireless link via the sensors. The bridges communicate with the Awarepoint server
over an ethernet Interface. Tags, sensors and bridges also periodically check the server for
updated configuration information or firmware updates. The tag works with other Awarepoint
products as shown in the diagram below.
