Precyse Technologies, Ltd. Date: 17 December 2012 Page 6 of 10 Precyse Technologies 100 Ashford Center North Suite 360 Atlanta, GA 30338 Abstract This document describes the iLocate system hardware: PBC beacon, Precyse part # BC91/005002, BC91/005000, referred to as Micro beacon 915. Product description PBC micro beacon: The Micro Beacon is used to define a location zone. It is based on a microcontroller and 4 RF transceivers. It uses the iLocate proprietary protocol which provides a 2 way, half duplex communication with the base station and to transmit its ID to the SATs. The unit is powered by an internal 3.6V battery pack. Technical Data Sheet – Micro Beacon 915 Compatibility: PBC Micro Beacon, 915MHz, versions: BC91/005002 (External antenna), BC91/005000 (Internal antenna) Performance: Read range: up to 500 m. (Within line of sight) Write range: up to 500 m. (Within line of sight) Read rate: 250 Kbps. Write rate: 250 Kbps. Communication: Frequency: 905.00 to 917.00 MHz ISM license free band Modulation: 4-FSK Channel spacing: 800 KHz EIRP: Up to 19dBm, digitally controlled Communication protocol: Precyse N3 Transmission: Event base and on demand (TOM/SOM) External interfaces: None Electrical: Power supply: 3.6Vdc, 100mA Safety: CE, UL compatible Environmental: Size: L120xW90xH50mm Operating temperature: -20°C to +75°C

System test configuration Beacon The unit was configured for normal operation. In this mode the beacon transmits its ID packet continuously, with 3.2% duty cycle. For intermodulation tests, the unit was configured to transmit on all 4 channels simultaneously. The unit transmission channels were set to 0 (905.0MHz), 8 (911.4MHz) and 15 (917.0MHz).
Precyse Technologies, Ltd. Date: 17 December 2012 Page 8 of 10 Precyse Technologies 100 Ashford Center North Suite 360 Atlanta, GA 30338 Method of operation The PBC has 4 independent transceivers. The transceivers cannot operate as MIMO or phase array (beam shaping). All the transceivers are connected to a single low power microprocessor unit. Each transceiver in the unit transmits its identification packet at 20% or lower duty cycle. Each transceiver operates at a different 800 KHz wide channel (905.0, 905.8, 906.6 etc). One of the channels (One which has the best reception from the base station) acts as a communication channel to the base station. This unit’s function is to provide location information to the mobile agents (tags). Upon packet reception, the tag transmits its signal strength (RSSI) and ID to the base station and its location can be calculated using various algorithms.

Precyse Technologies, Ltd. Date: 17 December 2012 Page 10 of 10 Precyse Technologies 100 Ashford Center North Suite 360 Atlanta, GA 30338 Unit definitions: Base station, referred to as PBS: A radio device that transmits data to and from the tag (SAT) to a personal computer (PC), also provides synchronization signal. The unit is powered by a DC power supply. Relevant model is BS91403000. Beacon, referred to as PBC: A radio device that defines a location. Location detection can be realized through one or more PBCs. The micro beacon is powered by a 3.6V battery pack. Tag (SAT): A radio device that is used to track and monitor assets. It communicates with the PBS and can detect the PBC signals. Relevant models are SA91004000, SA91001000, SA91005000 and their variants. Marketing and installation 1. EUT intended use and application: The BC91005002 and BC91005000 (PBC) are used as radio beacons for the iLocate system. By transmitting a constant signal, it allows the tags (SA91003000) to identify their location. The EUT is installed either indoors or outdoors (inside an appropriate sealed environment box). The installation requirements are proper site planning, infrastructure (DC supply, mechanical mounting, clearance around it), sealed box (Per Precyse tech requirements, an IP65 or equivalent box uninterrupted power supply where required, etc). 2. Marketing: The EUT is sold to system integrators only. It is not available for non qualified persons, integrators or resellers.
