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: 3 November 2013 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: 3 November 2013 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 BS91103000. Beacon, referred to as PBC: A radio device that defines a location. Location detection can be realized through one or more PBCs. 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 SA91/004xxx. Marketing and installation 1. EUTs with external antenna are provided with ANT-916-CW-RH-SMA from Linx Technologies already connected. These EUTs are tested in factory with these antennae. Replacement with other antenna is prohibited. 2. EUT intended use and application: The PBC are used as radio beacons for the iLocate system. By transmitting a constant signal, it allows the tags 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). 3. The professional installer is required to operate the iLocate system and ensure the link between the system and the EUTs. Furthermore, optimization is done on clients’ site. Therefore, installation of EUT is done by a professional installer from Precyse Technologies professional services or by its authorized resellers and it cannot be done by an average technician. For additional information refer to our website: http://www.precysetech.com/index.php?id=4 4. General use of iLocate system is business solutions. Please refer to our website under services: http://www.precysetech.com/index.php?id=4 5. From the sections above the EUT cannot be sold to the general public. It is sold by Precyse Technologies and installed by Precyse Technologies professional services or by authorized resellers as part of the iLocate system.
