Bulldog Technologies RFID (ZigBee) Data Collection Tag and Reader System
Passes FCC and Industry Canada Regulatory Testing
- Company Begins Shipping Products -
RICHMOND, British Columbia, November 22, 2005 -- Bulldog Technologies Inc. (OTC BB: BLLD), premier provider of wireless security solutions and sensor networks that monitor, track and secure assets in the supply chain, announced today that Bulldog’s RFID sensor network system has met FCC (US Federal Communications Commission) and Industry Canada radio frequency device regulatory requirements. Used for a variety of critical monitoring tasks involving commercial transportation and storage of perishable goods, Bulldog’s RFID sensor network solution addresses the quality control requirements of producers, transportation elements, wholesalers and merchants.
The Bulldog-developed and deployed sensor network solution measures and monitors the temperature of produce containers, refrigerated trucks, milk tankers and grocery store coolers while delivering real time data to a PC based monitoring application. This wireless sensor network consists of 2.45GHz IEEE 802.15.4 (ZigBee; similar to Blue Tooth) based RF tags and readers. The tags are designed to collect temperature data and transmit the data in real-time to a network of readers. The application monitors predetermined thresholds and, if exceeded, an alarm is issued via an email or a SMS text message. This alarm alerts personnel and enables corrective action to be taken before spoiling can occur, preventing complete or partial losses, insurance claims and delayed delivery.
ZigBee is a global standard that addresses the unique needs of remote monitoring & control, and sensory network applications; enables broad-based deployment of wireless networks with low cost, low power solutions; and provides the ability to run for years on inexpensive primary batteries for typical monitoring applications. Bulldog had selected ZigBee as the preferred platform to develop wireless security and sensor network applications.

“As developers of middleware for ZigBee wireless networks, we’ve had the privilege of working with numerous products and solutions from various companies,” said Tim Enwall, CEO of Tendril Networks. “We normally set aside a certain amount of time for joint projects like the Bulldog sensor network solution, however this particular project took much less time than anticipated due to the reliability and solid architecture of Bulldog ZigBee RFID tags and readers, not to mention the level of knowledge, professionalism and commitment of the Bulldog team.”
