RF Code manufactures infrared (IR) signaling units designed for use in real-time location service solutions. When deployed in concert with IR-enabled tags these products -- the A740 Rack Locator, and the A750 Room Locator -- provide a method of locating tagged assets with room- or rack-level precision. Each RTLS device transmits an infrared pulse pattern containing a unique 4-digit location code. IR-enabled tags monitor their environment for incoming IR signals and periodically report both their own unique ID and the applicable IR location code. Tag transmissions are processed in real-time to quickly locate and identify tagged assets, providing realt-time room- or rack-level accuracy. Coverage zones are limited by solid physical structures such as rack doors and walls, however IR transmits within line-of-sight, and signal bouncing effectively floods a coverage zone with the location code.
