WG Smart Bubble
WG · overhead RF EAS + Wi-Fi remote alarm · ceiling-mount
Dual-function ceiling dome. As an EAS detection system, it creates a 360-degree volumetric RF field up to 100 ft wide and 100 ft deep — fully concealed alternative to floor-mounted pedestals for wide-format stores. As a Wi-Fi remote alarm receiver, it pairs with WG's IR 4 Alarm smart tags (Bandit, Bottle Wrap, Cicada, Ninja Extreme, Lanyard, Pinless) and triggers an audible-visual alert at the dome up to 100 ft from the tag, with alarm-event data logged to WG's cloud platform for forensic review by Loss Prevention.

Overview
Overhead RF detection + cloud-connected remote alarm dome.
Two jobs in one ceiling unit. First, EAS detection — instead of floor pedestals at the exit, the Smart Bubble creates a 360-degree volumetric RF field that catches WG RF and AM hard tags entering its 100 ft x 100 ft zone. Cleaner storefront, faster installation, scales to multi-exit and wide-format layouts. Second, remote alarm — when paired with WG's IR 4 Alarm smart tag family (Bandit IR, Cicada IR, Ninja Extreme IR, Lanyard IR, Pinless IR, 4-Alarm Bottle), the dome receives Wi-Fi alerts from any tag being attacked anywhere within 100 ft and sounds the alarm at the ceiling, not at the door. Loss Prevention catches the incident inside the store. The cloud platform stores alarm events with timestamps, store ID, and department for forensic review across the chain. Operating frequency RF with AM modulation; resonant frequency disturbance detection method. Indoor only, 0-40 C, up to 90% non-condensing humidity.
Features
- 360-degree volumetric detection field — no floor-mounted pedestals
- Up to 100 ft x 100 ft coverage per unit
- Wi-Fi remote alarm for WG IR smart tags — 100 ft range from tag to dome
- Cloud-stored alarm forensics — by store, department, time of day
- Detects WG RF + AM hard tags
- Ceiling-mount 8-15 ft, optimal 9-12 ft
- Dedicated SPS-24 per dome unit
- Site survey recommended for optimal RF tuning

Compatibility
RF EAS detection: compatible with WG RF and AM hard tags. The Wi-Fi remote alarm function pairs with WG IR 4 Alarm smart tags — Bandit IR, Cicada IR, Ninja Extreme IR, Lanyard IR, Pinless IR, 4-Alarm Bottle Tag, 4-Alarm Bottle Wrap Tag. Requires a dedicated SPS-24 per dome unit. Performance can be affected by metal fixtures near the detection zone, electrical interference, and reinforced concrete or dense structural materials — WG recommends a site survey before install.
