Higher Read range is not good for many applications. E.g. if you want
active RFID for Gate/Door Entry/Exit applications and read range is
10-20 meters, then even someone passing by or standing in the lobby
may be read by the Reader and gate/door lock will open without the
knowledge of the person.

The aim of RFID is to read the people nearby and not read the people
away from the reader. Some active RFID technologies that offer higher
range cannot assure a fixed read range, The reader offering 10meters
may also in certain conditions like Open hall, can give up to 20
meters range.

In Active RFID tracking systems, The location of the reader is
considered as the location of the Tag. So if a Reader installed in
Room1 also reads tags in Room2 , then you cannot say if the person is
actually in Room1 or Room2. Hence you should have 2 different readers
in Room1 & Room2 each with read range limited to area of the Room.

AeroTag Active RFID Reader – 2.4GHz

The 2.45 GHz Active Reader is used in systems, which integrate the active tags. It is built around innovative 0.18µm CMOS circuits, with very high density of integration. This technological breakthrough allows for a low cost, and size constrained design.
The reader can be fitted with a standard rubber-duck antenna, like on the picture, for 100-150 ft communication range. Expanding the reading distance and shaping the RF field can be done with sector antennas provided by Bioenable. A Standard RS232 or RS485 interface is provided. Other versions with interfaces to TCP/IP WiFi/TJ45 or GPRS are also available.
In Its basic configuration the anti-collision rate is in the range of 80-100 tags per second. One single Reader can operate thousands of tags.
Several topologies are available, from simple start networks to complex clusters, for operation in dense controllermode. A software demo application is available together with the full command set description. The filmware of the controller is expandable in order to protect the customers investments.Health And safety is a major consideration. The active Reader is believed to be totally harmless to other adjacent electronic equipment, and to any consideration of health and safety.

Headstart (Headstart.in) is a showcase of most exciting products and technology in India – with a big difference. Unlike several existing showcase events that bring together VCs and Entrepreneurs together, Headstart and co-located Compute 2008 covers the entire innovation lifecycle in one place. This means participation from ALL the players in the innovation lifecycle: academicians, researchers, entrepreneurs, marketers, large companies, venture capitalists and customers, which we believe is essential to accelerate the pace of innovation in India. See the links below to find out how you can participate and benefit from the event. The Agenda is a good place to get a bird’s eye view.

BioEnable’s new innovation called  AeroTag – Active RFID Readers & cards has been selected in the Embedded & Silicon systems category in Headstart 2008.

AeroTag is a Active RFID based products designed and developed by BioEnable with its R&D team in Pune, India. AeroTag consist of compact credi card size tags with inbuilt coin cell battery to transmit its ID to Readers in the long range of 10 to 50 meters.

AeroTag products have been used by Hyderabad Municipal Corporations, Avaya Global and more then 25 customers in last 1 Years. BioEnable is the only company in India to develop its own Active RFID technology.

Mr. Pradeep Bhatia,  MD, BioEnable will present the  AeroTag products to large audience of academicians, researchers, entrepreneurs, marketers, large companies, venture capitalists and customers in HeadStart Event in Bangalore on 19th  january 2008.

BioEnable also won the award of Best Emerging Company of the Year 2007 , from Frost & Sullivan in New Delhi for Electronics Access Control systems.

AeroTag active RFID system selected by Avaya Global branch in Pune, India for employee tracking.

Avaya Global a leading VoIP company worldwide has selected BioEnable AeroTag technology to track their employees.

Employee tracking is a growing requirments for corporates for Security and data collection. In high end systems environment maintainance and control over staff is necessary to avoid any mistakes that will lead to downtime.

Avaya employees carry a Active RFID card , and when they enter and move out of the important locations like Server rooms, Canteen they are tracked automatically without employees having to display their cards to any reader.

Such systems are more user friendly and without knowledge of employees , corporates can do precise tracking of what employees are doing, are they in right location at tight time. This increase time efficiency and prevent frauds, time theft and ensure security of the installation.

BioEnable has designed & developed unique Active RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) products that work together to provide new approach to tracking & security. We understand the human tracking and logistics problems that today’s businesses face, and our staff is dedicated to efficiently applying RFID to solve these problems.

Active RFID reader consists of Wall mount or desktop Reader with external antenna. It can receive signals from Active RFID tags in the range of 10m distance. Active RFID readers have Ethernet or Wi-Fi interface to send data to the central server.

Features:

· Long Range Up to 10 meters.

· Readers have the ability of detecting multiple tags in a region at the same time using sophisticated anti-collision techniques.

· Network Connectivity Supported for wired and wireless installations via   RS232/485 or Wireless or TCP/IP connection.

· Allowing multiple readers to be easily networked together.

· RFID Server software supports the data collection by the readers and storage in data base with reporting.

· Software has facility to instantly locate a tag on request using the reader network.

· Software has ability to generate warnings if a tag does not respond within a certain period of time.

· Plug and Play readers get detected on network and are allocated network addresses automatically on power-up.
