The passive UHF portals with card and badge size-specific chip-antenna combination provides one of the most cost-effective automatic non-obstrusive and non-intrusive attendance monitoring solution with high accuracy. The range of the monitoring portal has now enhanced to more than 10 ft width with direct read distance of 15-25 ft.
Standard 2-D barcode can be printed on the badge for the lead retrieval application. Alternatively passive HF chip-antenna based on ISO14443 can also be used for the same purpose with more ease of reading without having to remove badge from badge holders.
Some or all of the below applications are covered by one or more of the following US patents: 7,513,425; 7,508,308; 7,501,954; 7,423,535; 7,382,255; 7,342,497; 7,319,397; 7,158,030; 7,098,793; 7,036,729; 6,961,000; 6,943,688; 6,883,710; 6,703,935; 6,696,954; 6,657,543; and other pending patents.

Beyond Attendee Registration and Lead Retrival
AVANTE Patented RFID-Enabled Tradeshow and Event Management Solution
Meetings between buyers and sellers are the fundamentals of any tradeshow success. The web and internet can deliver the contents but can never substitute face to face personal interactions in any meaningful relationship. AVANTE has incorporated RFID badges to provide exhibitor booth alerts for interested attendees as they pass by. This long sought after solution is enabled with the RFID ZONER™ badge that is a combination active and/or passive RFID technologies. These event or tradeshow badges are read and monitored by RELAYER™ active RFID reader-monitor and/or passive RFID portals. The passive RFID chips and badge antennae may be a patented combination of short range ISO 14443 short range chip to provide specific attendee data for lead retrieval applications as an optional replacement of the traditional 2-D barcode or magnetic stripe. Additional UHF chip-antenna badge can also be used for non-intrusive and automatic monitoring of session attendance similar to that of the active ZONER tag embedded badge. The positive RFID provides attendance monitoring and optional booth alerts that are of mutual interest to the exhibitor and the attendee.
In the event management industry, understanding the interests of your attendees is a vital part of the planning process. In the past, the use of barcode scanners or mag-stripe card readers has been the standard, but this setup required staff to be placed at each session, to scan or swipe an attendee's information. The result was long lines of attendees waiting to enter a session, wasted time, and increased aggravation for everyone involved.
Now, AVANTE has developed a better, easier, and more effective solution for the events industry. Using our powerful RFID ZONERTM-RELAYER™ tracking system, a small non-intrusive reader can be placed at each access point for individual sessions, and attendee tags can be read instantly and accurately as they pass through the door. No more lines, no more waiting, even more accurate data gathering, to see precisely what your attendees are most interested in. The non-intrusive nature of RFID, tuned to specific nodal read distance, has proven to be both accurate and efficient.
