2.4G Active Smart Student ID Card Solution

12/01/2025

In early 2024, China’s Ministry of Education issued guidelines restricting student mobile phones on campus and encouraging schools to provide alternative communication methods — such as 2.4G active electronic student ID cards — to meet parent–student contact needs while maintaining classroom focus.

Solution Overview

The system consists of:

  • Student Card (powered by SI24R2E 2.4G active tag)

  • 2.4G Reader + Antenna (gate-mounted)

  • Smart Terminal (data gateway)

When a student wearing the card passes through designated school gate zones (A→B or B→A), real-time arrival/departure data is instantly sent via 2.4G → 485 → GSM/broadband/SMS to parents, teachers, and the campus management platform.
