Enter the Alpha Thunder tag. These tags are the gold standard in several big chain retailers throughout the country because they work. Here are the basics of how the tag works:
The Thunder tag is placed onto the back of the tablet with custom adhesive. A plunger on the back-side of the tag detects any tampering. If the tag is removed from the device, it sounds an ear piercing 95dba alarm. In order for the tag to work properly, you will also need to install a tower antenna, such as the N10 antenna. These almost invisible gates detect when the tag passes through (say an exit door). This would also alert staff or security that a tag is exiting the building.
