Abstract
A system includes a belt that is adjustable between a secured state where there is at least a threshold level of tension across the belt, and an unsecured state where there is less than the threshold level of tension across the belt. The system also includes a first antenna, a second antenna, and an alert. The first antenna is disposed at the belt, operable to transmit and receive wireless communications, and operable at a resonant frequency with the belt in the secured state and inoperable at the resonant frequency with the belt in the unsecured state. The second antenna is disposed remote from the belt and operable to transmit and receive wireless communications at the resonant frequency. The alert is generated based on receiving a wireless communication from the first antenna at the second antenna when the resonant frequency is achieved, indicating the belt is in the secured state.
