Issue 11, March 2010
In March 2009, VEMCO announced the introduction of new tag coding techniques, designed to provide vastly more unique IDs for pingers and sensor tags. These techniques have been developed to support global projects and the growing demand for unique VEMCO codes around the world. VR2s, developed in 1999, are not able to detect the new tag coding techniques because of their older technology. However, VEMCO is offering an affordable VR2 to VR2W upgrade program so that VR2 users can take advantage of these new tag types and maintain global compatibility. In addition to support for the new tag types, VR2Ws also offer considerable more memory, faster offload with Bluetooth® technology than the VR2, and can be used in VEMCO's new VR2W fine scale positioning system, VPS. For VR2 users who do not upgrade to VR2Ws, VEMCO will continue to provide sensor and pinger IDs on code spaces A69-1303 and A69-1105. Pinger IDs (A69-1303) are expected to be depleted by the end of 2010. However, VEMCO will reuse expired IDs which are managed through the VEMCO code database. For pricing and information on the VR2 upgrade program, please contact your VEMCO sales representative or use our online contact form.
