The RFnode is a wired probe equipped with a single antenna, designed to integrate seamlessly with our Portas system. Serving as a crucial component of our gate-tracking solution, the RFnode is ideal for extensive areas where continuous tracking throughout the entire region is impractical or uneconomical, offering an efficient and cost-effective solution for monitoring specific points within underground mines or industrial complexes.

This device offers directional tracking, allowing for the monitoring of vehicle and personnel movement. Unlike the continuous tracking provided by WireNodes with tags, the RFnodes captures the direction of travel without the need for real-time tracking. It is an economical choice for areas where it is sufficient to know the number of vehicles or workers passing through specific points rather than their exact locations.

Fully compatible with the existing Portas system, the RFnode can be easily integrated into your current setup, providing additional tracking capabilities without requiring significant changes or upgrades. It operates without a battery, drawing power from the wired connection, ensuring continuous operation and reducing maintenance needs.

Designed for easy setup, the RFnode can be quickly installed and configured, minimizing downtime and operational disruption. It is particularly effective for monitoring entry and exit points in underground mines or industrial facilities, helping to track the flow of traffic through these gateways. Additionally, it is useful in determining the direction of movement of personnel and vehicles, aiding in operational efficiency and safety.

The RFnode is a versatile and cost-effective addition to the Portas system, offering essential directional tracking capabilities for environments where it is not feasible or economical to implement continuous tracking over a large area, ensuring precise registration of each tag’s passage direction. Its ease of installation, lack of battery dependency, and full compatibility with existing systems make it an ideal choice for enhancing your gate-tracking and traffic-monitoring solutions.
