Its meant to be a simple way to establish wireless communications with a wireless radio without getting into a lot of protocol complexity. See this blog post for more info.

Hmm, this OpenTag is interesting. From the Wikipedia article: "OpenTag is a DASH7 protocol stack and minimal RTOS, written in C. It is designed to run on microcontrollers or radio SoCs.". It does DASH7 Mode 2, which sounds nice. There is a SourcForge page for it: OpenTag. It looks like activity on the project isn't very high, though.
