4. RF Beacon Operation
The Smart Tag makes a wireless connection to an RF Beacon when it is detected in
proximity to the Smart Tag. Each RF Beacon has its own unique ID, and the location of
the subject residence is associated to that unique RF Beacon, as the RF Beacon is not a
GPS receiver in its own right. In this way the monitoring authority can be assured that
the subject is at the home location at all times the Smart Tag is in range of the RF Beacon.

the subject residence is associated to that unique RF Beacon, as the RF Beacon is not a
GPS receiver in its own right. In this way the monitoring authority can be assured that
the subject is at the home location at all times the Smart Tag is in range of the RF Beacon.
When the subject is at home the Smart Tag would continue to seek GPS locations at the
intervals set by the monitoring authority, the use of the RF Beacon is intended to reduce
the need for repeated GPS fixes while the subject is known to be at home, resulting in
significantly less demand on battery power.

The RF Beacon does not have a battery back-up, therefore in cases of power interruption
or deliberate disconnection location fixes by GPS will continue from the Smart Tag when
it cannot see the RF Beacon.
