 | | The ActiveTag RFID tags, which are battery-powered and comply with the ISO 7810 ID-1 standard for access control cards, are more expensive than their passive counterparts, but the ActiveTag system enables reliable “hands-free” identification—the ability to identify personnel without the physical presentation of a credential, says Axcess CEO Allan Griebenow. |
 | | With ActiveTag RFID readers installed at building doorways, stairs or other exit points, the system would automatically identify personnel as they leave the building, and as they assemble at a disaster meeting or "mustering" point away from the facility, provided that they brought their tags with them. |
 | | The identification system will allow them to have the credential tag (an ID-size card with a battery-powered RFID tag) in a pocket, on their clothing or in a purse or briefcase and still be identified as they exit the building. |
