Introduction
The AeroScout T2u Tag is a key component of the AeroScout Visibility System. It is part
of the AeroScout Wi-Fi Ultrasound solution designed specifically for asset, patient and
staff tracking in healthcare environments, where knowing the location and status of
patients, staff and medical devices is critical to ensure the highest level of patient care, the
optimal use of resources and the most efficient workflows.
T2u works with Ultrasound Exciters. The Exciters transmit ultrasound signals, which do
not pass through walls, thus helping deliver location reports with room-level accuracy.
The T2u Tags, with embedded ultrasound receivers, capture the signals and report their
exact location over the Wi-Fi network.
When tags are not in proximity of ultrasound Exciters, they continue to transmit Wi-Fi
signals, which allow the system to determine their location within the hospital or facility.
T2u Tag Features
Ultrasound Receiver
The T2u Tag is equipped with an ultrasound receiver, which picks up the ultrasound
transmissions of EX4100 and EX4200 Ultrasound Exciters. The tag transmits the Exciter ID
over the Wi-Fi network. The tag is equipped with a proprietary dilution algorithm that
extends battery life.
