1 Introduction
DartTags are a wireless ultra-wideband (UWB) device from Zebra Technologies that are used for real-
time tracking and identification of assets and personnel. DartTags transmit UWB pulses which are
detected by a series of Dart UWB Sensors . Dart Sensors report detected tag events to the Dart RTLS
location processing hub where tag location information is computed and reported.
The DartTag tag family consists of the UWT-1200 badge tag, UWT-1100 and UWT-1101 asset tags.
DartTags provide extended range and precision that is unmatched by conventional RFID solutions. These
UWB tags uniquely provide reliability and accuracy in difficult electromagnetic and multipath
environments, along with superb battery life for use in demanding industrial requirements.
2 Installation and Operation
DartTags are shipped with the transmitter off. With a proper Dart RTLS system in place, the installation
of DartTags is complete when the tag is activated. Tag transmitters are turned on (activated) using a ZLS
configuration tool. DartTags transmitting continuously at one blink per second are expected to last over
5 years. Batteries are non-replaceable.
