AT-330 Asset Tag
Introduction
The Newbury AT-330 asset tag, is a battery powered,
802.11b/g, Wi-Fi compatible, sensor platform that is
capable of being networked in a WLAN environment.
The AT-330 can receive and send Wi-Fi compatible
messages at user defined intervals. The Wi-Fi sensor
platform serves as a means to become an active RFID
tag where the RFID platform can send messages with
unique ID’s and/or data encoded from several sensors
which are part of the tag. The AT-330 seamlessly
becomes part of the users wireless network
infrastructure in that the tag becomes just another user

sensors can be configured to the application best suited
by the user.
