Second Generation RFID Smart Reader
Introduction
The Second Generation RFID Smart Reader (the Reader) enhances the flexibility of its former
version by adding a portable feature and wireless connectivity. You can choose to add a battery
to the Reader and work in combination with a dedicated antenna for portable use such as the
NeWave Smart Vest. An expansion dongle slot is provided for connecting a Wi-Fi dongle or
LTE dongle with which you can easily send the collected data wirelessly.
The Reader is designed for uses with a variety of UHF RFID applications. It provides high level
RF performance, a user-friendly software development interface and a cost competitive reader
solution. Combined with our Wave Antennas, it can provide 100% readability in area sizes of
2’ × 2’ × 2’ to 10’ × 10’ × 10’ when appropriate reader parameters and antennas are set up. You
can also connect the Reader to a Fan-out Box and 1 to 4 RF Switches to add additional
antennas. A maximum of 16 antennas are allowed with one Reader.
For multi-reader applications, such as retail applications, the Reader solution can efficiently
compress data size and solve data traffic issues.
Basic application:
You can connect to up to four antennas and use a computer to monitor detected parameters.
2 Software
Second Generation RFID Smart Reader
Advanced application:
Use the Reader with a Fan-out Box and an RF Switch to connect up to 16 antennas.
