The Master is equipped with a quad core processor capable of high-speed application processing, including optimisation for intelligent machine learning algorithms.
The Felix platform is typically powered through 802.3af PoE, or optioned though auxiliary power with battery backup.
The Minion device uses an embedded microcontroller, and has the ability to operate in low power mode, running off a CR123a battery for up to 3 years. Each Master has two high-speed CAN buses for connecting to Minions, overdoor lights, sensors, and third-party integrations.
These connections can be daisy-chained on-site to create a ring network, ensuring redundancy in case of chain breaks. Both Master and Minion devices support LoRa, Bluetooth and Zigbee protocols through an optional communication module. The module facilitates integration with Vitalcare’s wireless infrastructure, BLE, RTLS, and various specialist medical devices, enabling direct connectivity between room call points and facility medical records. Each device on the network can be configured and upgraded remotely, or by using an NFC enabled Android phone or tablet device.
