BT Tag GUIDE 4.8
Proprietary and Confidential
2.2.2 Mounting
One of the main purposes of the BT Tag is to track objects, meaning that the Tag can be attached to them. Installing
the device correctly will make a difference in the performance. The following is a general guideline on how to position
the device for better functionality.
The tag transmits approximately -3dBm of power and has a radiation pattern as shown on the image below.
In order to achieve the best performance, the user should avoid surrounding the device with metal surfaces and
mount the Tag in accordance to the receiver. The reason thereof is the radiation patterns which need to be
considered in order to get a strong transmit signal to reach the destination
The illustration below shows an example of a good mounting solution for the Tag. The positioning is consistent with
the one of the receiver, in this case RTX8200 (For mounting guidelines of the RTX8200, please refer to the RTX8200
Location Gateway manual). Taking into consideration that the signal of the Tag is spread around it, in this case it will
be necessary to attach it in a vertical position, so that the receiver can catch the Beacon Events
