220Bi AssetTag Family

The 220Bi As220BisetTag Family is an adaptable and reliable RTLS tag suited to a broad range of applications. The basic tag is available in three form factors: standard, compact and with mounting wings. Additionally, Vestac’s Engineering Services Group (ESG) will work with you to develop other form factors for your unique needs including temperature sensing tags.
So, whether you are tracking people or property, the 220Bi is an ideal solution. The 220Bi AssetTag has been certified by Cisco under the Cisco Compatible Compatible2cRGB_62x53Extensions (CCX) program ensuring that Vestac tags will seamlessly integrate with the Cisco Unified Wireless
Network

 

Features

Multi-Modal Wi-Fi + Infrared

  • 802.11 b/g/n Compatible RF with Proprietary Infrared Signal Detection

Multiple Form Factors

  • The Vestac AssetTag 220Bi can be easily incorporated and affixed to a variety of asset types such as medical devices, manufacturing equipment, IT equipment, shipping containers, vehicles and carts.
    • Standard format: 2.75″ x 1.85″ x 0.31″ (70mm x 47mm x 8mm)
    • Compact format: 1.85″ x 1.46″ x 0.55″ (47mm x 37mm x 14mm)

Flexible Mounting Option

  • The 220Bi tag can be affixed to assets using a variety of mounting options including adhesive tape, Velcro, tie-wrap, or be placed inside a holder.

Integrated Motion Sensing

  • 220Bi includes a built-in motion detector that reports whether the tag is in motion or stationary. The motion sensor is designed to optimize and maximize battery life by allowing a higher transmission rate when the asset is in motion and lower transmission rates when an asset is at rest and/or remains at rest for a period of time.

Storage Mode

  • A power optimization feature places the tag into “Storage Mode” when the tag has been stationary for long periods of time. Storage mode will chirp once every 8 hours.

Long Battery Life

  • A powerful lithium polymer battery provides greater than 5 years of battery life under normal operating conditions. An advanced power optimization and power management design ensures maximum battery life under a variety of transmission and usage scenarios. The 220Bi tags transmit battery status and low battery alerts to facilitate asset monitoring by software applications and simplify maintenance.

Ultra-Secure Provisioning

  • Configuring and programming of the 220Bi is performed using Ultra-Secure Infrared Provisioning.

Infrared Functionality

  • The 220Bi uses the Wi-Fi infrastructure for both RTLS and as a data path for relaying pin-point positioning information received in IR signals transmitted by the Vestac 330Xi IR Transmitter. No additional infrastructure is required.

Wi-Fi Compatibility

  • Vestac tags are IEEE 802.1 1 b/g/n compatible and are certified by the FCC to not pose interference or frequency concerns for wireless equipments or devices.
