1 Abstract
This manual provides specifications for the EE-290 Electronic Shelf Label (hereafter referred to as
“ESL”).
2 Overview
The EE-290 is an E-ink based ESL with a 2.4GHz radio for data communication. This product uses
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum RF technology that allows for 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.
A development kit is available that consists out of a base station, several ESL tags and PC software
that allows people to quickly test the system and makes it easier to integrate this ESL system into an
existing back office system.
