Introduction | 5 Introduction The AeroScout T3 tag is a key component of the AeroScout Visibility System. The T3 tag is a small, flat, Wi-Fi, active RFID device that enables the wireless network infrastructure to locate assets not connected to a wireless network. The tag can be attached to mobile equipment such as vehicles in parking lots, inventory in a manufacturing line, containers, forklifts and medical equipment in hospitals.
| T3 Tag Features The tag can be configured to send different data depending on how the buttons are pressed: different messages can be associated with a long push of the buttons and with short, successive pushes. Each call button can be configured to serve a different purpose according to the organization’s needs. Motion Sensing T3 tags are shipped with on-board motion sensors that report when it starts to move and whether it is in motion or not.
|7 Tag Mounting The AeroScout T3 tag is enclosed in a compact case and offers a variety of mounting options described in this section. Single Hanger The T3 tag may come with a single hanger on one of the narrow sides (the “top” side). Figure 2. AeroScout T3 tag with single hanger .
