Superior Long-Range DetectionWith an antenna gain of 9 dBi and a maximum read range of 15 meters, this UHF RFID system outperforms standard readers, making it ideal for monitoring assets over large areas. Its high sensitivity enables reliable detection of passive tags, streamlining tracking in warehouses and across wide site perimeters.
Robust, Versatile DesignEngineered for indoor and outdoor use, the system operates reliably between -20C and +60C and withstands high humidity. The ABS plastic and metal housing, along with flexible mounting options, ensure durability and easy setup on either walls or poles-providing tailored solutions for any application environment.
Flexible Integration and ConnectivitySeamless communication is ensured by multiple connectivity interfaces, including Ethernet, RS485, USB, RS232, TCP/IP, and Wiegand. Integrated LED indicators enhance monitoring of power, read, and status events, while dual input and output ports support external control or automation needs in smart asset management environments.
