1.7 Other Hardware Requirements
1.7.1 Reader Network Hardware Required
In order to receive the data transmissions from the tag, the user will need the following equipment at a
minimum:
Any Wavetrend Reader, such as the
RX201, pictured above with the
AN200 antenna fitted
The appropriate power supply for
the reader
(may be sold separately)
433 MHz Antenna, to extend
the reader range
(sold separately)
All data is passed by the reader to a computer, where software capable of decoding the tag and reader data
can then display the tag data and location data. Both Wavetrend and many of Wavetrend’s Accredited
Partners offer suitable software
applications for asset
management applications.
