1.0 Introduction
1.1 Fundamentals
IDENTEC SOLUTIONS’ ILR
® (Intelligent Long Range®) technology is the next generation of
long range RFID (Radio Frequency Identification). The objective is wireless and automated
data collection over large distances.
1.2 System Overview
IDENTEC SOLUTIONS’ ILR-System consists of four main components:
• Active tags (also called transponders) with internal power supply, which are used to
identify goods or to store data and histories
• Interrogator (i-PORT; fixed-mounted) and handheld devices (mobile), which
exchange information with the tags and host computer systems
• Antennas for definition of read zone
• A central computer system as basis for control and monitoring
This manual only describes the operations of the i-Q32T active tag.
1.3 Operational Description
The i-DQ32T tag is a high performance active RFID tag suitable for a wide variety of
applications. The tag response to an activation telegram from the interrogator is to
transmit its unique identification number.
The tag has a low current FSK receiver in the UHF band for a data rate up to 115 Kbps. The
PLL stabilized FSK transmitter has a data rate up to 115.2 Kbps. The operation range is 350
meters in open air, with a typical operation life of six years.
1.4 Features
Low cost Tracks large quantities of assets economically using high speed active
technology.
2000-tag simultaneous identification Provides high-speed data collection to facilitate warehousing and
inventory-based applications.
Wireless triangulation Allows fast, precise location of assets in a warehouse or an inventory
yard.
64-byte data memory Stores process information onto the tag to provide real-time tracking
and tracing.
100-tags/sec. identification rate Provides reliable identification of fast moving objects.
350-meter read/write range Allows identification, tracking and tracing of personnel and assets
without human intervention.
LED (option) Provides visual identification of an addressed tag (pick-to-light).
6-year battery life time Delivers long time maintenance-free operation, without battery
replacement.
On-demand communication Eliminates RF flooding by using application-driven read/write
operations.
UHF operating frequencies Operates on standard North American ISM band frequency so that no
radio license is required for operation
Non-line-of-sight data transmission Allows tags to be buried while transmitting for improved
tracking/locating efficiency.
