The 0928-17 is a factory-encoded active card that includes a lithium battery which enables it to provide hands-free functionality when it is used together with Cotag hands-free readers. When it is used with a Cotag hands-free reader‚ the reading range is up to 1 metre. With Cotag proximity readers‚ the reading range is up to 30 cm. 0928-17 tags are particularly useful in environments where some cardholders are disabled or often have their hands full (i.e. a hospital or warehouse). One of the major advantages of Cotag technology is that active and passive cards can be mixed in the same system to provide ultimate convenience and cost-efficiency. Note: Compared to the 0928-0, the 0928-17 active card is featuring an additional horizontal slot punch and can be used for both portrait and landscape card holding. The card number is printed on front of the card. Quantity in order: 1
