1.5 General Facts about Wavetrend Tags
 Radio Frequency (RF) signals are scientifically complex and subject to strict government controls to
avoid causing interference with other RF signals. How tags are used and where they are used all affect
how the tags perform and what may be allowed in one country may be prohibited in another.
 The products offered by other active RFID vendors are not functionally identical to Wavetrend’s and may
perform very differently. Using and installing RFID tags requires careful consideration of these and many
other factors by a trained RFID engineer. The use of the services of a Wavetrend trained and accredited
engineer to determine the requirements of an RFID system and to specify the correct Wavetrend
products to use is strongly recommended to ensure a satisfactory experience for the user.
 All Wavetrend tags operate at a frequency of 433.92 MHz as standard.
 Wavetrend Active and ActivDuo tags use different internal firmware and cannot be reconfigured as each
other, I.e. an Active tag cannot be changed into an ActivDuo tag they are totally separate product lines.
