XR450 RFID Fixed Reader

The XR Series Readers from Motorola offer maximum functionality for large-scale RFID deployments. This strategic platform is designed to help enterprises achieve competitive advantage by increasing inventory visibility and process efficiency, resulting in reduced costs and improved profitability. Reliable and efficient tag reading in dense RF environments eliminates interference issues associated with multiple RFID readers in close proximity. The standards-based service-oriented architecture enables seamless integration and interoperability with your existing IT infrastructure — and maximum application flexibility. Robust RFID functionality includes support for standard back-end platforms, direct application hosting, and the ability to interact with additional asset automation equipment such as forklifts and conveyor belts. Support for leading business systems includes IBM’s Data Capture and Delivery Solution (DCDS) certified to work with IBM Premises Server 6.1 and 6.0, Microsoft RFID Biz Talk Server 2006 R2 and SAP as well as leading development tools including .NET 2.0 and off-the-shelf applications. The flexible product line can support deployments around the world: the XR450 four port device operates in 902-928 MHz US frequency band and supports other regions, such as China and South Korea.
