MET has an exclusive, three year agreement with the DASH7 Alliance to test products for DASH7 certification. DASH7 is the first successful attempt to organize active RFID technologies into a strong, global standard.
Highlights of DASH7 include:
- 1 Operation at 433 MHz, globally available, unlicensed spectrum
- Based on ISO 18000-7 standard
- Multi-year battery life
- Range of up to 2 km (potentially farther)
- Penetration of concrete walls, water, and ability to "bend" around metal objects
- Low latency protocol that enables reliable tracking of moving objects
- Small, lightweight protocol stack that minimizes silicon costs
- Data transfer at up to 27.77kpbs (potentially as high as 250kpbs)
- Sensor & security support
