PowerTag System Architecture Ranking

The PowerTag system architecture is ranked as:

  • Sparse wireless architecture: When only one gateway communicates in a radius of 20 meters.

  • Concentrated wireless architecture: When two gateways communicate in a radius of 20 meters.

    In Concentrated wireless architecture, the communication load of the wireless PowerTag system must be balanced on several channels. It is required to create a Wireless Channel Assignment Plan (refer to Wireless Channel Assignment Plan Definition) to study this type of architecture.

    NOTE: The radius of 20 meters is the distance to confirm that the two PowerTag systems are totally independent.

    The maximum distance for communication between the gateway and the wireless devices is 3 meters (refer to Rule GEN4).
