Our tiny CC1 smart badge device weighs only 50g, is close to credit card size and is equipped with a highres 600x480 pixel interactive e-paper screen. All functions familiar from smartphones can be managed remotely OTA and centrally by the operator. The device user can interact with multiple DataView tasks or can answer questions. Device users have no access to the device´s functional setup details. This Infrafon design principle provides stability and efficiency to the operator´s processes.

Infrafon Smart Badge can be always online with its in-built range of COM digital radios WiFi, Bluetooth, LoRa or NB-IoT (LTE-M). Operators can locate Infrafon CC1 by GNSS (GPS) or BLE Beaconing. A Holder of the CC1 Smart Badge can open locks using NFC emulation function (MIFARE DesFire EV2, Calypso...), make payments, or monitor the holder´s body movements.
Create rules and define alerts! Imagine for example: A 3rd party geofencing tool detects an Infrafon holder in an unauthorized room. Automatically executed rule simply OTA deactivates RFID/BLE credentials.
Unlike a smartphone, Infrafon operates as an Always Connected Terminal, managed by a server- (cloud) based operating system (IES). Operators benefit from security and efficiency by design. NoCode, NoOS, just REST API!
The Infrafon CC1 device’s functions are managed centrally by the operator. Device users do not have access to any unwanted behaviors during their journey. This philosophy secures the efficiency of any process. User interaction is only available using the capacitive touch screen and 3 capacitive navigation buttons. A wide range of functions can be managed centrally, For example: A server task can create alerts if the Infrafon CC1 device is detected in forbidden areas or hours, as well as put the device on standby according to a predefined setup rule. Communication via WiFi, BLE, LoRa or LTE-M can be strongly encrypted via certificate stored securely in Secure Element NXP SE050. Access to highly protected networks is no problem.
The Infrafon CC1 Smart Badge embeds smart firmware, letting the device operate without the weight of a complex Operating System such as Android or IOS. This revolutionary, patented interactive Terminal technology makes it easier for involved parties to build, test, run, and certify the whole system. An Open-Source strategy and use of the µPython language by the comfortable IES (Infrafon Entity Server) grant the flexibility familiar from IoT architecture and connect the system to 3rd party applications. Standards like MQTT allow the device to interact with further ecosystems making it possible to use the device as a communication device and connect with a corportae PABX in order to replace analog or digital pagers. You can create unique user journeys at a fraction of the cost of commercial BYOD Smartphones and apply a single look and feel to your existing Apps using our Infrafon DataView Designer to grant a better user acceptance.

Zebra SE4100 powered 2D QR code reader expansion module. Lets you read, interpret and transmit data from 1D/2D codes or take imager pics and deliver them to the IES backend for further processing by 3rd party apps. Take advantage of Infrafon’s endless communication strength and transmit using LoRa if no public network is available. A hospital asked us to create this module to read Patient QR coded wrist bands to confirm Patient ID.
The Infrafon device is equipped with a Buzzer and Vibrator, but if extended audio features are required, such as recording voice messages, playing messages, sounds or very loud alerts, this is a useful expansion clip. We designed the module for a hospital customer to monitor background sounds and generate an alert in case of certain noise characteristics by MQTT backend analysis.
Apple’s UWB RTLS Airtag can be embedded into this clip. Indoor localization of the Infrafon CC1 device in the range of few centimeters. Use case: Order a drink with using the Infrafon device, service staff, equipped with IOS device and RTLS can localize guest very precisely and deliver the drink even in crowded situations.

This is the heavy-duty (still not that heavy) Smart Badge version for professional users. It uses a very similar PCB as the CC1 version with some important modifications. The WD1 is designed with an (emergency) response team member in mind. Reliability and convenient use are the priorities for this one.
One of the most obvious changes with the WD1 is the bulky top section. It houses an OLED-screen that can be used to display the callers id number or important information, that is accessible from a quick glance down to the badge.
The top part also houses an extra loud speaker for alarm sounds and voice messages hearable even in very noisy environments. Longer battery life while continuously listening to BLE alarm ensures minimal response time when it counts.
Continues tracking with seamless transitioning between indoor BLE or UWB and outdoor GPS. Other tags just use one or the other, with the WD1 you can use BLE or UWB beaconing inside, you can also scan for those and sending the location data to your backend using low energy Lora or LTE. As soon as the team member moved outside, location technology switches to GPS and sends location updates via LoRa or LTE.
Unique and innovative features are characterizing this new Asset Tag available from Q2/23. No matter, if outdoor (under GPS) or indoor (under BLE or UWB) the tag can be tracked via LTE, LoRA or UWB communication. In addition the functionality and interactivity known from our CC1 Smart Badge is what makes this Tag stand out from all the others. A touch enabled high res always on e-paper shows IDs, barcodes or tasks allowing for fast and efficient human interaction. A bright 270 degree RGB LED-element and an extra loud buzzer makes finding assets easier or can be used to alarm employees nearby. Both active and passive NFC as well as BLE functionality can be used in combination with the other features improving efficiency by the enhancing existing workflows. The AT1 like the CC1 can be just as easily integrated into existing processes using simple drag and drop editors from our partners.
On the topic of asset Tracking of course we need to talk about real time location: What sets the AT1 apart from other devices is the seamless transitioning between indoor BLE or UWB and outdoor GPS. Other tags just use one or the other, with the AT1 you can use BLE (AoA or RSSI) or UWB (Kinexon, Siemens RTLS, SEWIO,...) beaconing inside, you can also scan for those and sending the location data to your backend using low energy Lora or LTE. As soon as the asset is moved outside location technology switches to GPS and sends location updates via LoRa or LTE.
With the combination of an e-paper screen, low power radio transmission and a battery capacity of 5200mAh AT1 can last (depending on usecase anywhere from 1-5 Years). Inside the casing there is room for 2x3.6V Lithium AA batteries (single use or rechargable), which can be easily replaced in under a minute.
A ruggedized exterior and scratch resistent screen made of hardend PMMA combined with the IP67 waterproofed casing makes this device a great fit for industrial environments inside and outside.
