The Loc8tor.
Can't find your Kids in a busy shopping centre, cant find your key's or wallet just when you need to go out? Well we have the perfect solution for you – a small gadget which uses RFID technology to precisely identify objects carrying a small tag from as far as 183 meters (600 feet) away.
The Loc8tor is a small handheld device which can locate up to 24 tags with a claimed precision of 2.5cm (1”). The device uses RFID 2.45GHz ISM frequency band and can locate objects behind walls and other obstacles (with reduced range). The Loc8tor can specifically identify each tag which can be given a name (for instance "Oliver" or "Keys").
The tags are minute and operate via active RFID and so require LR54 batteries (used primarily in watches). The Loc8tor itself uses 2XAAA batteries and has an indicator for showing when batteries on each tag or the device itself should need to be replaced.
The Loc8tor displays the general direction of where a specific tag is located accompanied by a high pitch sound (up to 90dB) which gets stronger as you get closer and closer to the tag. The Loc8tor can also tell if the tag is located higher or lower than your current position which can be very helpful when you are looking for an object in an apartment with several levels.
