Axcess International Inc. a leading provider of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) solutions and Real Time Location Systems (RTLS), announced today an enhanced method for providing positioning and directional capabilities for RFID applications.
The Dual Activator(TM) product is based on the Company's ActiveTag(TM) platform that enables automatic tracking of personnel, assets and vehicles in multiple industries that use this capability for security, logistics and operations effectiveness. The patent pending solution is available for immediate purchase.
The Dual Activator provides a high precision method for determining the location of people, vehicles and assets. Many other RFID systems don't have the ability to offer dependable positioning and rely on speculation or added switches to determine the location and direction of objects. AXCESS' enhanced product is a more affordable option as the cost of installation is minimal.
The Dual Activator, connects directly to two transmit antennas to offer a radio frequency signal that awakens the tags as they pass through each antenna field. It writes its own ID to the tag, which is then retransmitted, along with the tag's unique ID, to provide the tag's location and direction at time of activation.

"We are pleased to offer a product capable of providing critical, realtime data to our customers," commented Allan Griebenow, president and CEO of AXCESS. "We recognize the importance of precise positioning in security, logistics and perimeter control. We provide a full solution that addresses the specific requirements of government, enterprise, hospitality, and transportation industries. AXCESS' solution makes it easy for organizations to automate the tracking and tracing process." 
AXCESS' patented ActiveTag(TM) RFID systems use small, battery powered tags (generically called "semi-active" tags) that when automatically activated, transmit a wireless message typically 30 to 100 feet to hidden palm size receivers. The receivers are connected via standard network simultaneously to the enterprise system software, the existing security alarm equipment, and standalone management software. Optionally, the tag system can be used to trigger security video recording and live remote video transmission. The tags are used for a variety of enterprise productivity applications including automatic personnel access control and tracking, automatic vehicle access control and payload management, automatic asset management and protection, as well as special purpose sensing. Automatic email alerting and paging is offered for rapid response to security related incidents.
