System. The T3-BD tag is a small, Wi-Fi, active RFID device that enables
the wireless network infrastructure to locate assets not connected to a
wireless network. This tag includes full bidirectional Wi-Fi connectivity,
enabling it to receive information the network. The tag can be attached to
mobile equipment such as vehicles in parking lots, inventory in a
manufacturing line, containers, forklifts and medical equipment in hospitals.

T3-BD Tag Features
Bidirectional Communication
Other than the standard AeroScout unidirectional beacons transmitted by
the tag periodically, the T3-BD tag is capable of performing Wi-Fi
bidirectional communication through full network association and
authentication.
Over the Air Firmware and Configuration Upgrade
The T3-BD tag is capable of associating with the Wi-Fi network at pre-
configured intervals and receives automatically firmware or configuration
upgrade. This saves collecting the tags one by one whenever such an
upgrade is needed
Acknowledgement
The T3-BD tag is capable of requesting and receiving a system
acknowledgement for various events such as a call button press or sending
telemetry data. An acknowledgement can result in the activation of various
A/V indications on the tag.
