The SensorSMART Platform infrastructure features mobile readers (i-CARD), fixed readers (i-PORT) and
exciters (i-MARK). Network sensors offer the highest functionality within the SensorSMART Platform. Robust
and reliable, SMARTsensors monitor temperature, humidity, light, shock, tilt, motion, push button, digital
input, Hall sensor, etc.
The SDK (software development kit) is an easy to use framework that allows developers high level access
without requiring in depth knowledge of sensor or reader protocols, timing or implementations. Extracting,
filtering and sharing data as well as calculating an object’s position is only part of the i-SHARE (edgeware)
functionality.
i-APP is an intuitive web browser 2.0 application that allows for rapid application development for sensor
based applications. It is the SensorSMART Platform’s business intelligence.

i-Q350LX GPS –SAT active RFID tag with satellite navigation and
communication uplink provides highly accurate positioning of objects – even in
the most remote on- and off-shore locations. The combination of GPS, satellite
communication and active RFID sets a new benchmark in the oil and gas
industry
FEATURES
Designed to withstand the harshest and most demanding environments, the i-Q350 satellite tag is ideally
suited for applications such as CCU tracking and tracing or localization of high value assets and vehicles.
With its integrated GPS receiver and satellite modem, the tag can transmit its GPS position either via RFID or
via the globally available Globalstar satellite network.
The combination of low power components and a motion sensor enables a smart energy and cost
management. The tag only transmits position data when a change of the position is located. This allows an
outstanding battery lifetime and minimizes the operational costs to a minimum.
The integrated marker functionality allows to control if an object was moved through a particular zone or
gate. The inductive marker field triggers the Tag to send the location information to a reader with its RFID
capabilities.
The ATEX Zone 0 and IECEx certification allows usage of the tag in dangerous and potentially explosive
atmospheres and is therefore ideally suited to the oil and gas industry.
