Introduction

The AeroScout EX3100 Exciter is a component of the AeroScout suite of
enterprise visibility solutions that enables location-based applications. The
EX3100 Exciter extends the AeroScout suite to provide robust and
sophisticated RFID detection capabilities, using the same AeroScout tags that
can also be accurately located in real time by the AeroScout system.

The EX3100 Exciter triggers AeroScout’s T2 tags in range, and those transmit a
message to AeroScout Location Receivers or compatible Access Points. This
provides instant acknowledgment that a tagged asset was present in a well­defined area. The detection and programming capabilities of the Exciter,
combined with the location features of the AeroScout Visibility System, make
the AeroScout suite the most sophisticated enterprise visibility solution for a
wide variety of industries.

The EX3100 Exciter can be utilized in one of the following ways:

spherical area around it.

2. Chained: Several EX3100 Exciters can be used to cover a larger area and
to operate as a single entity.
