The RailTAG

The ultimate Beacon for all railroad applications

With RailTAG, almost all objects or spaces in the public transport and railroad environment can be digitally marked or identified. The marking of "rolling stock" (bus, train, ship, gondola, etc.) is just as easily possible as the marking of the track or station environment, stops or service areas. 

 

Through a RailTAG, it is possible to obtain specific information about relevant environments or objects at any time and from any location. This information can then be used to store, evaluate conditions or control a wide variety of processes.

 

The RailTAG offers high-tech in a very small space. This makes it possible to install a RailTAG in any environment: visible or invisible, indoors or outdoors.

 

Information can be transmitted via optimized Bluetooth technology (Ultra BLE), even over very long distances to a receiving device - even under difficult operating conditions. For this purpose, either standard protocols such as iBeacon and Eddystone, UID/EID, ALT Beacon or completely individual as well as combined protocols can be used.

 

WavePointer TAG can be purchased as a module or also in housing variants. The RailTAG meets all certifications for use in the railroad industry.
