The implementation of the nGage system will determine the utility of the product within the hospital
environment. The system gathers information from multiple Radio Frequency (RF) devices and stores data
in a useful form inside the server database. The reporting database is accessible to authorized users via
SSL-encrypted Internet connection. The validity of the installation depends on establishing and keeping all
referential information correct.
Terminology
In order to understand the implementation, one must have a good understanding of the individual
elements of the nGage network.
The picture above shows the basic outline of the nGage system. It consists of a network of various devices
that communicate with a Server. The number and disposition of individual elements will vary with each
installation, but following are the basic elements:
Server
Central server consists of software with database and a physical server computer. Typically,
one server runs on each site and performs all communication functions. The server contains all
the configuration data as well as history of all events from the network. The server may be
connected to one or more BR units.
BR
Bridge is a unit that performs the translation of data between Ethernet and SNAP
®
network, a
mesh network over which all the wireless devices communicate.
CU
Control Units are adjacent to the dispenser stations and perform two functions: wake up when
a TAG is nearby and issue CU transmission to the BR. Each CU configuration is location specific
within the hospital.
TAG
Tag is an RF device worn by an individual. The CU monitors when a person enters the room,
engages the alcohol or soap dispenser, and exits the room.

nGage Client Server Application
• The application collects the data from the SNAP® network of detection devices and constructs
a comprehensive history of events.
• The configuration component of the application maintains locations, tags, persons, messaging
and full application management detail.
• The application is designed to operate without intervention and, at the same time, allow
immediate actions by the operator.
Technology
• The application is written in Microsoft .NET framework.
• The secure SSL infrastructure supports user authentication with user specific capabilitys
set. User type determines what features can be accessed.
• Database server is MySQL Server. The server is accessed using MySQLClient drivers for .NET.
Network
• The nGage system consists of the detection units that capture the information, connectivity
software and hardware, and the server that receives all data, computes the information
database, and provides both configuration and analysis access to the information.
• The CU Units gather information about dispensing and entry/exit of the control areas. This
information is sent to a server using SNAP
®
network via Bridge unit. The Bridge unit
translates the SNAP
®
