It provides detailed instructions about using the 721 Tags and Tag Programmer as well as specific requirements. The PinPoint System is a Real-Time Location System (RTLS). It uses high frequency radio signals from cell controllers to locate and follow the movement of the 721 tags, which are attached to assets. Tagged items can include hospital equipment, many varieties of containers, and a wide array of devices and other mobile resources that require protection, tracking, or location. From here, the data is sent to client applications and stored in a database. About this Guide The PinPoint 721 Tag and PinPoint Tag Programmer User Guide is intended for users who fasten, clean, and care for 721 Tags. It includes detailed information about the 721 Tags and using the PinPoint Tag Programmer to program them.
