EE-150 V-0.1 6 1 Abstract This manual provides specifications for the EE-150 Electronic Shelf Label (hereafter referred to as “ESL”). 2 Overview The EE-150 is an E-ink based ESL with a 2.4GHz radio for data communication. This product uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum RF technology that allows for ultra-low power consumption combined with a reduced sensitivity to background noise. That means less interference by other radios that operate in the 2.4GHz band. The radio protocol that is used is based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard that specifies the physical layer and media access control for low-rate wireless personal area networks. A development kit is available that consists out of a base station, several ESL tags and PC software that allows people to quickly test the system and makes it easier to integrate this ESL system into an existing back office system. 3 Physical Features 3.1 Dimensions W x H x D = 45.5 x 39.9 x 14.8 mm Figure 1: Dimensions 3.2 Weight 22.3 g (including battery)

Baud rate 250 Kbits / second
EE-150 V-0.1 9 6 Electrical Specifications 6.1 Electrical Characteristics Conditions: Operating voltage 3.0V unless otherwise specified The ESL is in sleep mode almost the entire time. The device wakes up at regular intervals (called the poll time) and it then transmits a poll request to the base station. When the base station has no data to send, it acknowledges the poll after which the ESL immediately goes back to sleep. The minimum poll rate is configurable and is set to 20 seconds by default. A higher poll rate will decrease the power consumption but will increase the response time. 6.2 Battery The power is supplied to the ESL by 1 CR2450 battery: • Nominal capacity: 600 mAh • Nominal voltage: 3.0 V. • Maximum self-discharge rate: <1% per year • Battery life: 4 years minimum (Update frequency: 4 times per day, poll time 20 seconds). A more detailed set of conditions is listed in the table below. The battery life is made up of several factors. During transmission e.g. the current consumption is much higher than when the ESL is ‘sleeping. The table below shows the various factors that make up the entire current consumption, plus the conditions under which the lifetime calculation was done. Factor Conditions Correlation * Influence ** Data communication Poll interval: 20 seconds Retransmissions: 10% Report ratio: 1 to 39 Yes No Yes 61% Display updates 4 updates per day Temperature: 15~25° C No Yes 20% No connection with base station (Out of range or base station off) Not connected: 2% Number of channels: 5 No No 4% Sleep time 99,9% Yes 9% Battery self-discharge 1 % / year No 6% * The correlation shows whether increasing the listed value under ‘Conditions’ increases (Yes) or decreases (No) the battery life of the EE-150. ** The influence shows the percentage of the specified factor on the entire current consumption. For example: • Increasing the poll interval improves the battery life • Turning off the base stations shortens the battery life. • A lower operating temperature (below 15° C) shortens the battery life. • More display updates per day shortens the battery life.

Thus, the PHY manages the physical RF transceiver and performs channel selection and energy and signal management functions. It operates on the above mentioned frequency band. The PHY layer is 100% compliant and is based on direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) technique with a transfer rate of 250 kbit/s. 7.1.2 The medium access control layer The medium access control (MAC) layer enables the transmission of MAC frames through the use of the physical channel. Besides the data service, it offers a management interface and itself manages access to the physical channel. It also controls frame validation, guarantees time slots and handles node associations. Finally, it offers hook points for secure services. The EE-150 does not make use of the optional network beaconing, instead it uses a polling mechanism to increase power efficiency. Some changes are made to the standard to allow for more efficient data frames and better power efficiency, especially when nodes are not connected to a base station. 7.2 Security By default only the image transmission is encrypted using a proprietary encryption protocol. Enhanced encryption/authentication can be requested on demand by loading different firmware on the ESLs in combination with the loading of an encryption key and an additional ESL server module. The protection method for RF-communication is done by 128-bit AES encryption.
