Ekahau, a provider of Wi-Fi-based Real Time Location Systems (RTLS), has launched four new Wi-Fi tags that aim to expand the functionality of the company's real-time location tracking solutions in various markets.

The tags, which were designed in response to customer demand in a number of vertical markets, include a personnel badge tag that offers two way Wi-Fi pager capabilities and other solutions for industrial, retail and temperature sensitive environments.

Unique needs addressed
"Many of our potential customers understood the value of real-time location tracking, but had unique needs that exceeded the capabilities of our T301A and T201 asset tags or T301B badge tag," explained Arttu Huhtiniemi, director of product management for Ekahau.

All of Ekahau's tags support two-way communication, enabling the tags to both send and receive information for communication and remote tag management across any brand or generation of Wi-Fi network.

New tags
Ekahau's newest Wi-Fi tags include:

1. T301BD - The T301BD offers Wi-Fi pager functionality, and enables users to send messages, status updates and alarms. It also allows them to receive and acknowledge text messages and location-based alerts on a bright display screen that uses the latest OLED technology. The T301BD also is a cost-effective way of replacing legacy paging systems and services as it leverages an enterprise's own Wi-Fi network.
    
2. T301i - A locatable industrial tag with two-way signalling and a call button, the T301i provides a wireless replacement for traditional hard-wired factory call buttons, which are used for plant floor part replenishment, service requests, status updates and quality alerts.
    
3. T301T - By integrating a temperature sensor, the T301T can automatically report temperature readings in a remote location and notify users if the temperature exceeds a predefined threshold range. Designed for automated monitoring of refrigerators, freezers and any temperature sensitive areas in hospitals, retail stores and industrial applications, the tag's Wi-Fi capability enables it to support multi-party cold chain monitoring and management applications. The T301T supports an optional remote platinum temperature probe with a temperature measurement range of -200C to +200C for applications that require monitoring at extreme temperatures.
    
4. T301Ex - Intended for use on oil and gas rigs, and in petrochemical refineries and chemical plants, where certification is required for hazardous or volatile environments, the T301Ex can be used for asset tracking and status notifications, as well as supporting employee safety applications for reporting the location of personnel in accident or disaster situations.
