Given the influx of civilians at various installations, and the fact that tracking so many people is difficult to do without a functional IES system, the design of a simple yet effective system is necessary to verify the location and identity of massive numbers of people at any given time. This is necessary for various locations that Taiie/5th XF survivors may find themselves, including the recently constructed Pisces Station.
It was decided that a sort of general Biometric Identification and Tracking Card was needed, one that could not only transmit its location to a more simple tracking computer, but also the status of its carrier. This concept was known as the BIT Card.
Systems
Micro Wireless Transciever: This super small Super High Density Wireless tranciever communicates with a simple computer system via radio waves in multiple possible configurations. It constantly relays information in encrypted binary to the computer system, which can use the data to track and record locations in real time, even with multitudes of people. Each card uses a custom frequency, and with a frequency range of 100 GHz to 151 GHz, there are a possible 50 trillion individual possible frequencies. Given that the radio waves are only light speed, the computer itself is responsible for relaying the data to alternate locations if needed, using the location's subspace communications system. These transcievers can also communicate with PANTHEON or an IES system if in the presence of one.
Biometric Scanner: The card is loaded with a simple biometric scanner as well as the user's biological data. If the user is within five meters of his card, the card sends a "location nominal" signal, indicating that the tracking being sent to the computer is accurate. If outside range, the card sends a "roaming" signal, indicating that the user is not within range, and that the locations of the card and user are not the same.
Emergency Assistance Setting: The card has the ability with its biometric scanners to detect obvious life-threatening injuries and conditions, and alert the computer automatically. The setting can also be manually set by the user by intentionally snapping the card in two, should an emergency situation arrise such as an attack. Rather than cease working, the components, all in one side of the card, will inform the computer of the manual EAS mode activation. If a civilian is a habitual card snapper, this setting can be ignored by the computer is configured as such....though this isn't recommended. Also, tampering with the card's circuitry automatically sets manual EAS mode off.
BIT Software: This software can be stored on a computer with a wireless connection and modest requirements. Given the simplicity of the signals sent and recieved, even a high-end datapad could theorestically run the system. The only true limit is the number of people being tracked, and the capability of the hardware to support multiple wireless connenctions.
