PanGo has launched its third-generation Wi-Fi-based active RFID tag, giving organisations the ability to identify and monitor the location of thousands of mobile assets, inventory and personnel at a significantly lower total cost of ownership.
Available this month, the new tag includes an updated ergonomic form factor, battery life in excess of five years and integrated alert-button functionality.
The new tag is the first to be compatible with the Cisco Certified Extensions (CCX) Tag Protocol, a Wi-Fi communication mode that enables a higher level of location accuracy for Cisco 2700 Series Location Appliance customers and the ability for the tag to provide enhanced telemetry reporting.
According to PanGo president & CEO Michael McGuinness, the new tag is the most advanced Wi-Fi-based RFID tag in the industry, supporting a wide spectrum of vertical market applications and capable of efficiently and cost effectively enabling precise location information.
PanGo customers will gain expanded ability to leverage the mobility features of their wireless local area networks (WLANs) to accurately locate tagged mobile assets, minimising time-consuming and cost-prohibitive manual searches.
The features of PanGo’s new tag are largely enabled by the first chip designed specifically for use in active RFID tags, from G2 Microsystems.
G2’s ultra-low-power, active RFID System-on-Chip enables companies to tap asset-tracking capabilities at an average 75% reduction in total cost of ownership over earlier solutions.
The PanGo tag is a key component of PanGo’s enterprise asset tracking solution that includes the PanOS® location management platform and the PanGo Locator® asset tracking application.
