UHF 860-960 MHz RFID Reader/Writer with 4 Antenna Ports
This global 4-port high performance UHF reader/writer supports PoE, enterprise-class management and monitoring, and reads up to 430 tags per second.
Product Overview
This UHF Gen 2 RFID reader/writer delivers increased application flexibility via new features such as support for Power over Ethernet (PoE), which simplifies deployment and dramatically reduces cost by eliminating the need for AC outlet installation at read points. It also reduces green house gas (GHG) emissions. With a compact form factor, the reader/writer enables a wider range of installation options.
Key Features
- 4 Antenna Ports: Supports connection to four external antennas for expanded coverage and deployment flexibility.
- Power over Ethernet (PoE): Simplifies installation and reduces costs by delivering both data and power through a single Ethernet cable (IEEE 802.3af compliant).
- Autopilot Function: Automatically senses the RF environment and configures settings for optimal performance.
- Enterprise-Class Management: Features robust management and monitoring capabilities, including support for SNMPv2, EPCglobal Reader Management, and Syslog.
- High-Performance Read Rate: Capable of reading approximately 430 tags per second in challenging environments.
- Industry-Leading Sensitivity: Maximum receive sensitivity of -82 dBm for reliable tag reads at greater distances.
- Advanced Read Zone Control: Innovative features to enable read zone containment and eliminate stray reads.
- High Transmit Power: Capable output power to overcome cable losses and ensure strong signal transmission.
- Dual Firmware Image: Enables reliable, non-disruptive firmware upgrades.
- Versatile Connectivity: Includes 10/100BASE-T Ethernet, USB host/device ports, and a GPIO interface for external device control.
