Specifications Manual
1. Abstract
This manual provides specifications for the EBS40 base station that can serve Opticon’s
electronic shelf labels. (hereafter referred to as “Base Station”).
2. Overview
The EBS40 is a base station, equipped with two 2.4GHz radios for data communication with
Opticon’s electronic shelf labels. This product uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum RF
technology that allows for an ultra-low power consumption combined with a reduced
sensitivity to background noise. That means less interference by other radios that operate in
the 2.4GHz band. The radio protocol that is used is based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard
that specifies the physical layer and media access control for low-rate wireless personal
area networks.
The base station provides the link between a back office system and the ESLs. The base
station is equipped with an Ethernet interface so that it can connect to a loc al ar ea network.
It has a two port Ethernet switch built-in that allows for easy daisy chaining, enabling
simplified network cabling.
