14. MOJIX RFID SYSTEMS
Headquartered in Los Angeles, California, Mojix was founded in
2004 by some of the world's foremost experts in advanced signal
processing technology, perfected for deep space communications.
The company's mission is to leverage this technology to create a
new generation of game-changing RFID systems that realize the
vast potential and expand the utility of RFID throughout supply
chains and enterprises. In re-defining RFID, Mojix is enabling
organizations to re-invent and derive new levels of value from
their supply chain management systems.
Mojix STAR 3000 System
The Mojix STAR 3000 is a game changer for RFID tracking, both in terms
of technology and economics. Built on deep space communication
technology designed to detect very weak radio signals, the EPC Gen2compliant Mojix STAR 3000 can read the signal from an excited passive
RFID tag as far as 600 feet/182 meters away — which is 20 times the
range of traditional systems. The world's longest range RFID receiver is
now available at a lower cost with more functionality.
 100,000 times the receiver sensitivity of previous solutions— 50dB link budget improvement
indoors
 20 times the range of conventional RFID readers—more than 600 feet/182 meters
 1.2 teraflops signal processing power
 100 times greater coverage area than conventional systems—up to 250,000 sq feet / 76,200 sq
meters with one STAR system
 Verification of 100% of tags on RF-challenged materials
 Expanded utility of passive RFID—location estimation, security and authentication

15. Mojix STAR Receiver
With the ability to detect extremely faint signals and freed from line-of-sight read restrictions, the STAR
receiver works in concert with its satellite Mojix eNodes to support one or many business processes
across the system's entire coverage area.
A STAR receiver functions as a single point, phased array reader/receiver utilizing adaptive beam
forming and steering, and managing up to 512 Mojix eNodes. It detects installed Mojix eNodes and selfconfigures accordingly, and is used to schedule interrogation zones. The STAR receiver controls the
operation of eNodes, reads tag data, and communicates with the Master Controller. It can be configured
to operate across the entire UHF frequency band (868-MHz to 928 MHz).
STAR Master Controller
The Master Controller provides a single point for data collection, communication with corporate
business processes, and command and control of a Mojix STAR system. The Master Controller schedules
resources, directs the Mojix STAR system to activate eNodes, processes tag information, and serves as
the integration point between a STAR system and enterprise applications. The Master Controller also
hosts applications that leverage the powerful Mojix STAR system to deliver new capabilities, and
maintains statistics of successful reads in each interrogation space of the system. It uses these statistics
and a proprietary set of optimization algorithms to adapt digital radio parameters for individual
interrogation spaces to optimize system performance.
Mojix eNodes: Flexible Solutions for RFID Coverage
The Mojix STAR system uses Mojix eNode transmitters to define its three
dimension coverage area and individual interrogation spaces. Up to 512
fixed, wireless or handheld Mojix eNodes are supported by a single Mojix
STAR system. Operating within FCC-approved power limits, a Mojix eNode
excites all passive RFID tags within its designated interrogation space, with
a typical excite range of 30 feet and an excitation area of 2,500 sq. feet.
eLocation
With the ability to locate and track RFID tags within a 30ft radius of a Mojix eNode, and in addition
determine location with up to one meter accuracy, the Mojix STAR system enables passive RIFD
solutions to be deployed in a wider range of use cases and applications where location determination is
required.

16. Mojix eGroup
Mojix eGroup enables true verifiability and electronic proof of delivery that can heighten levels of
security and anti-counterfeiting.
A long standing challenge for passive RFID is failure to excite tags on RF-challenged goods and and
therefore the inability to read those tags. This can be due to tag failure, tag de-tuning from metallic
package of the goods, or obstruction of the tag by other objects.
A Mojix eGroup is essentially an electronic inventory or manifest of a targeted population of tags. An
eGroup optionally can also provide a unique electronic signature. Tag data is compressed and
distributed across all tags in a pallet to create a unique pallet code, verifying the collective tags upon
reading, determining their originating source, and protecting against duplication and intrusion. Because
the code is embedded in the RFID tag memory, the code remains with the pallet and the pallet's
inventory information is available in real time, without necessitating communications with a backend
database or software system. In addition to verifying and protecting tagged items on a pallet, Mojix
eGroup is applicable to virtually any arbitrary shaped three dimensional population of goods, container
or space including shelves and display cases.
Mojix STAR USE CASES
The Mojix STAR system addresses all use cases currently addressed by conventional passive RFID
systems, but with greatly enhanced functionality, cost-effectiveness and scalability. It also enables
organizations to leverage RFID for use cases that were previously uneconomical or technically infeasible.
Retail – Stores can now locate products that have "migrated" from store back room to
retail floor, from designated shelves, displays and departments. Shrinkage can be
curtailed while items are still in-store with real-time monitoring of goods moving on the
retail floor. And the exact location of items can be determined to optimize replenishment,
returns and ordering of inventory.
Shipping Docks, Dock Doors – Complete real-time visibility is provided not only into
items passing through doors, but also into items staged near doors and passing by docks.
Normal dock operations are supported, as well as exceptions, and the solution scales
cost-effectively across all doors in a facility.
Yard Management – Assets are immediately located and tracked for accurate inventory,
loss prevention and more efficient operations across yards, lots, wharves and other
outdoor areas. This leads to increased yard throughput, faster dock door turns, improved
productivity, enhanced outbound carrier selection, and elimination of unauthorized

17. checkouts.
Manufacturing – Manufacturers can better manage WIP (work in progress), increase
product velocity, reduce inventory and achieve a more predictable flow on
manufacturing lines through enhanced exception handling and real-time visibility into
build status, resource utilization and misplaced materials and tools.
Mobile Asset Tracking – Movable enterprise assets can be tracked and managed across
entire campuses for improved asset utilization, more efficient operations, and better
preventative maintenance.
Fast Moving Goods Tracking – Perishable goods and food can be tracked and managed
through each step of the distribution process within a complete warehouse with visibility
from entry to exit of the facility.
Factory Workflow Automation – Work flow automation of processes such as receiving,
assembly and sorting systems from unassembled goods to finished products, can be
tracked, providing full real-time visibility to various stages in the process,optimizing the
work flow on the factory floor, as well as management and decision making.

18. AssetPulse's mission is to help businesses get a better handle on all their asset related data. At
AssetPulse we believe that accurate and up-to-date asset data is imperative for any business that is
looking to gain a competitive advantage through the optimal use of all its critical assets. To provide a
truly comprehensive view of all assets, our AssetGather platform is uniquely designed to collect,
aggregate and correlate asset related information from a wide variety of data sources including realtime data from RFID tags and sensors and existing data from databases, spreadsheets and applications.

28. Beacontree Technologies brings together an extraordinary level of experience
and expertise in both the technical and business aspects of RFID innovation,
application and implementation. Each member of our senior management team
brings over 20 years of directly related experience to this new and exciting
enterprise.
One branch of the Beacontree operation involves the acquisition of RFID
technology products and the negotiation of partnership relationships with
manufacturers that enables Beacontree to always have access to reliable
equipment that meets our clients needs.
Another branch of Beacontree requires unique technical operation capabilities. With the arrival of UHF
RFID, knowledge of the technological complexities of RFID rises to the level of corporate IT Management
when it's being applied to specific customer demands.
The third branch of Beacontree calls for exceptional Project Management skills. It requires intuitive
business, organizational and operational understanding as well as the talents it takes to see an
implementation through from initial discussions to final customer satisfaction.
SOLUTIONS
Library
Though Beacontree solutions are developed, based on customer
specified need, we do offer one pre-existing, 'off-the-shelf' RFID
solution that applies to libraries - all types of libraries. This RFID
solution has already proven successful in several library operations
and what works so well for them, can be applied equally well in any
library, including yours.
If you are thinking that implementing such a standardized library RFID
program could mean a substantial saving in development and testing costs, you'd be correct!
Beacontree chose to build this library RFID program because libraries have proven to be one of the most
noticeable examples of how RFID technology can make a dramatic difference in operational efficiency.
Libraries have thousands of assets (books, CD's, etc.), continuously circulating to the general public and
back to the shelves. The need for accurate tracking is obvious. Beacontree Technologies is currently very
active in implementing its RFID system in libraries.
RFID readers can be installed directly in book return chutes to simplify the tracking process. Modular
system components can be easily and integrally installed in a library environment. The check-out and
check-in process becomes automated to the point where the patrons simply do it themselves. The tags

29. can be attached to the books in a way that isn't noticeable to borrowers and today's RFID tags will not
harm magnetic media such as DVD's. Perhaps most importantly, a good RFID system functions as a
reliable anti-theft device.
The existing Beacontree RFID solution can be applied in both small and large public libraries as well as
university libraries, government libraries and any other library environment where many books (or other
library media) are circulating and must be tracked. It interfaces directly with SIRSI, the standard library
database software that handles all 'backend' library functions. It's a stand-alone system with easy touch
screen operation.
Asset Tracking
Every industry and organization has valuable assets that must be kept
track of. Especially if they are being transported. Probably the most
common use in this area is parcel delivery (UPS, Fed Ex, etc.) They
know where every package is at any given time, largely due to RFID.
Larger assets such as computers and even vehicles can be embedded
with RFID tags and located and accounted for when in range of RFID
readers.
Supply Chain
To most businesses, their supply chain is their lifeline and the more control they have over that, the
more profitable their operations can be. Many enterprises are finding worthwhile ways to implement
RFID across the full range of their supply chain. This way they can reduce cost through reduced waste,
more efficient logistics and reduced inventory levels. It can also help them protect against counterfeiting
and theft. It can also minimize the impact of today's heightened government security measures as well
as various international import/export law logistics. Most companies using RFID within their supply
chain management realize greater efficiencies and cost savings through increased productivity at their
distribution centers.
Security and Access Control
Security applications unlocked the door to the initial widespread use
of RFID technology. Virtually all of us possess and constantly use an
RFID embedded card that conveniently and securely allows you access
to locked building doors and interior rooms without the need for keys.
Applied to products and other items, RFID helps identify theft
problems. In the corporate world, RFID can automate security at
offices and stores and provide better personal safety for security
workers. RFID can even be embedded in phones and internal
communications equipment to allow for simple and secure 'touch and report' site checks.

30. Inventory and Warehousing
RFID technology is being increasingly implemented in warehouse
operations and for inventory control. Where barcode tracking was
once the standard, using current RFID technology allows inventory to
be updated in real time without product movement, scanning or
human involvement. Barcode readers can malfunction when wet or in
harsh conditions. RFID technology enables total asset visibility, can
read the item's complete inventory history, help reduce shelf space,
almost eliminate errors and contribute to overall reduced warehouse
operation costs.
Manufacturing
Second Generation UHF RFID technology is being increasingly used to
control various aspects of the manufacturing process in a wide range
of industries. It's superior tracking ability helps increase the accuracy
of on-time production and decreases manufacturing overhead due to
reduced labor costs. Some manufacturing process experts believe that
extensive deployment of RFID technology throughout the process can
change the current concept of "just-in-time" manufacturing to "realtime" manufacturing.
Potential
One of the things that inspires Beacontree management and staff is
the virtually unlimited potential of RFID technology applications.
Practical and economical new uses for it are continually being
developed. And, compared to the complexity, timeframes and cost of
developing software applications, RFID applications can be
implemented with relative ease. Keep in mind that an RFID tag can
even be embedded in a mobile phone.
Here are just a few of the innovative RFID applications we've seen put into operation recently:






In hospitals. An I.V. unit can cost over $1,000. Yet somehow they mysteriously go missing. An
RFID system can easily maintain total control of them.
In hotels. Maids can carry an RFID embedded device that can identify and report to a reader
unit in each room.
Maintenance and repair personnel can use RFID 'touch and report' systems resulting in time
and cost savings.
Utility workers (gas, electricity, etc.) can use RFID to read meters, transmit data and receive
updated instructions in the field.
Government workers in areas such as public safety, health care and administration can use
RFID-based communication for accurate reporting with minimal paperwork.
In the automotive industry, RFID tags are now being widely used for error proofing and data
collection in the assembly process.

31. 

RFID tags can be used as sensors for instantaneous parameter changes on some types of
machinery and even robotics.
The pharmaceutical industry has been a leader in RFID technology application. RFID tags can be
attached to bottles and other medicine containers. They've proven to be an effective tool in
forgery prevention.
SERVICES
Consultation
This is where you tell us what to do. A Beacontree RFID expert will visit your site. We'll briefly explain
RFID and its wide-ranging new potential. You'll tell us about your business and what application you
expect RFID technology to accomplish for you. You'll be happy to know that this initial consultation is
free!
Needs Analysis.
If agreed on, following the initial consultation, Beacontree will prepare a Needs Analysis report. This is a
very comprehensive and clear document created specifically for your organization and your proposed
application (not a standardized form). It spells out your objectives, the nature of the work involved and
the implementation phases. It also tells you your precise cost, including our fees and the overall
equipment procurement investment you'll need to make. Beacontree charges a reasonable fee to take
your project to this definitive stage.
Feasibility Study.
There are numerous critical technical, physical, business and even human factors that go into a problemfree RFID installation. Considerations such as: nearby magnetic fields, ambient electronic noise and
many other issues must be identified. This study is done on your site, under actual application
conditions, by a technician using a tool called a spectrum analyzer. Additional follow-up testing may be
done in our own lab. This stage eliminates any unexpected and potentially costly problems in the
implementation stage.
Project Management.
Our Project Management team is involved from the start of the project, but they take over during the
implementation stage to ensure the installation is completed correctly, on time and on budget with
minimal disruption to your daily operations.
Site Assessment
Every environment is unique. The success of an RFID implementation requires clean transmission and
reception between the tags and the readers. Other wireless transmissions interfering or competing in
the RFID frequency range can certainly become an obstacle. Factors such as humidity, absorption and
reflection will also impede successful implementation.
A site assessment puts physics ahead of guess work. Using a Spectrum Analyzer, one of our trained
technicians will conduct a site audit looking for ambient electronic noise (AEN).

32. We'll come on to your site and review existing maps and floor plans prior to a physical facility walkthrough. We'll then determine the areas requiring RF coverage, evaluate the data, cargo, property and
traffic flow.
Next comes an RF survey covering the identified areas, using a Spectrum Analyser configured to sample
the RF energy in a band which includes the operating frequency of the system to be installed. We allow
the Spectrum Analyser to gather data overnight or for 24 hours, if possible. We then repeat the survey
at your various proposed locations. Finally, we'll document our findings in a survey report, delivered to
you that will provide the required information for planning and corrective action, if necessary.
Laboratory Testing
Antennas, Readers, Tags, SKU size, SKU Packaging, SKU content, Tag Placement, Tag Orientation, Read
Distance, Conveyor speed. Variable factors that will impact the readability success rate of your products.
Take out the guess work and have your SKU's tested in our lab. If it doesn't work in the lab, it isn't going
to work in your environment.
Send in a sample of SKU's to us and we'll test the readability of your products against different
manufacturer's products and vary the attenuation, speed, distance, tag placements and tag orientation.
We'll send you a comprehensive report detailing the results that will enable you to make sound and
well-informed decisions surrounding which hardware will best work for you.
Network Impact Assessment
RFID will generate tremendous volumes of data and network traffic. What are your storage and backup
requirements? Can your existing network infrastructure handle the extra traffic? The challenge will be to
establish the best way of handling all this data and traffic so that network performance is not
compromised.
We will take a look at the number of various data collection points, the amount of data that will be
captured and the frequency of collection. We can then take benchmarks and apply them to a baseline
performance to project what the impact will be. Using this information, we will be able to provide
recommendations on any network infrastructure upgrades that may be required in advance of
implementation.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS
"If you haven't yet heard, every RFID program manager needs to understand three things: slap and ship
has no ROI; RFID is just more data to be managed: ROI demands integrating RFID data with enterprise
operations. The good news? Many organizations are working out best practices in three key areas:
technology, strategy and business process."
D'Anne Hotchkiss
RFID News & Solutions
"The cost savings and accuracy improvements are immense. Advances over traditional barcode scanning
include no line-of-sight requirements for scanning, finding misplaced items, faster read times and the
ability to scan multiple items at once. Making the transition to wireless technology isn't easy but it's
looking
like
the
benefits,
so
far,
are
outweighing
the
initial
costs."
Kerry Eberwein, General Manager
Bell Enterprise Wireless Solutions
"It's worth the expense. There are lots of very high-volume, critical items that we sell out the shelf
during the day, and while the store prides itself on its inventory management, only one of 12 of these
items actually got restocked on Saturday afternoon. In most cases that means lost sales for us and for
our suppliers."

RFID TAGS
Recent developments in technology have allowed us to develop a low cost and highly reliable RFID
active tag solution. ActiveWave RFID tags have many advantages over conventional RFID passive tags
and RFID active tags.
Advantages Over Passive Tag Solutions:
- Longer Read RangeRFID Passive tags have read ranges limited to a few feet. ActiveWave RFID tags have a read range of up
to 85 meters (~279 feet).
- Larger Data Storage CapacityPassive tags have limited data storage capacity compared to the ActiveWave RFID active tags.
- Data Can Be Sent at Designated TimesPassive tags send data only when they are in close proximity to the RFID reader. Because of the large
read range, ActiveWave RFID tags can send data at pre-designated intervals or at certain locations.

Read Only vs. Read/Write Tags
ActiveWave offers Read Only and Read/Write RFID tags.
Read Only Tags: The transponders generally provide a fixed factory-set identification code, which is
tamperproof, and are known as Read Only (R/O). The unique code, known as a License Plate, enables
the tag to be cross-referenced with a database, thereby allowing the tagged item to be closely followed
and monitored.
Read/Write Tags: The customer can modify the tag's data. This offers advantages in many applications
where the identification code needs to be changed, or where variable data is more important than a
unique identity.
