Beontag – Ironside Classic Dual RAIN RFID + NFC Tag | Dual-Frequency Asset Tracking for Harsh Environments
The Beontag Ironside Classic Dual is a dual-frequency hard tag combining RAIN RFID (865–928 MHz) and NFC (13.56 MHz) in a single IP68-rated enclosure, with shared memory accessible by both protocols via the EM4425 IC. Designed for asset tracking in harsh industrial environments, it reads up to 7 m on metal surfaces at 2W ERP and withstands operating temperatures from -40°C to +85°C, plus chemical exposure to motor oil, salt water, sulfuric acid, and NaOH. It attaches to any surface material via adhesive, structural adhesive, M4 screws, pop rivets, or a stainless steel welding bracket.

Benefits
At 7 m read range on metal surfaces, the Ironside Classic Dual tracks metal assets — equipment, tools, containers, and vehicles — without requiring a standoff or special mounting. No secondary antenna or spacer needed.
RAIN RFID enables bulk automated scanning across a facility. NFC lets any smartphone tap and read the same shared memory on the spot. Both protocols access the same 1,472 bits, so data stays consistent across every interaction.
IP68 sealing, a -40°C to +85°C operating range, and verified resistance to motor oil, salt water, and sulfuric acid mean this tag keeps functioning in environments where standard labels and soft tags fail within days.
