Description
The Tag has a long range radio based on the LoRaWAN® licence-free protocol and can operate in the 868MHz and 915MHz bands without any network costs or subscriptions. This radio is used to send and receive messages over long distances and is the mechanism for Tag wake-up, location reporting, remote configuration updates and Tag operating modes.
The long range radio connection is typically made with the Finder, but the Tag can also join your own private LoRaWAN® network and even be commanded to switch between the two networks when required.
The Tag also supports UWB technology for precise distance measurements, Bluetooth, and a GNSS receiver (GPS, Gallileo, Beidou, GLONASS) along with on board temperature, accelerometer and 2MB storage.
The Tag is fitted with a 600mAh battery and is 36mm (W) x 56mm (L) x 19mm (H) and weighs 38g.
There is a micro-USB port for device charging and an external multifunction LED. The LED can be disabled during deployment and can also be activated by the Finder to light up for a short period of time when deployed, if this helps to find a Tag in the dark.
Power is controlled by holding a magnet (supplied) against the Tag between the USB connector and the LED.
The Tag features a universal fixing mechanism consisting of four M3 screw holes in the base of the Tag. This allows the Tag to be attached to many different mounting solutions with four M3 screws whether your preferred mount is a metal plate, collar, backpack or other solution. The Tag can also be glued to a shell.
