Thursday, December 4, 2008 in News

Pixavi, a Norwegian provider of industrial wireless communications solutions, has introduced the Xtag, an active RFID tag which serves as the cornerstone of a Wi-Fi based Real Time Locating System (RTLS). The system is considered intrinsically safe, making it appropriate for hazardous area applications, such as mines, chemical plants or oil and gas production.

The Xtag is battery-operated and can operate on any existing Wi-Fi network. It can pinpoint equipment and personnel position with a precision up to 2 meters. The tag is part of a diverse explosion proof wireless product range offered by Pixavi. [end]
