Rajant Corporation entered into a strategic partnership with Extronics, to make dangerous areas safer. Extronics will provide Wi-Fi tags for personnel and assets tracking, which will be combined with Rajant’s firmware to be safer and certified for use in hazardous work areas.
Extronics Wi-Fi-based tags enable the wireless network infrastructure to track the location and condition of valuable assets or people. The small battery-powered, rugged, programmable tags send short 802.11 messages at a predefined interval.
The tags have long battery life, flexible mounting options, call button and tamper-proof options, onboard sensor capabilities, the capability to store and receive data messages, and a clear channel assessment to avoid Wi-Fi data traffic interference.
According to Geoff Smith, Rajant’s Executive VP of Sales & Marketing, this is especially relevant to personnel tracking, which could be proven useful for industries such as oil and gas, petrochemical and ports.
