Product Description
Description
This xArray gateway is a fixed infrastructure RFID reader system that provides always-on and wide-area monitoring for real-time identification and location of RFID tagged items.
This xArray gateway is a fixed infrastructure RFID reader system that provides always-on and wide-area monitoring allowing businesses to continuously and automatically collect data about items of interest, providing updated inventory information and real-time location of individual items; all without human intervention. This xArray gateway is ideal for large-scale, item-level applications within retail, healthcare and manufacturing, it provides data that allows businesses to deliver better customer service, increase employee productivity and make better business decisions.
Key Features
- A single xArray can monitor up to 1,500 sq. ft. (139m2) when Monza R6 based tags are used, extended coverage with multiple xArrays
- Intelligent item locating with 5 ft. (1.5m) or better spatial resolution of (x,y) location
- Low profile design fits into standard ceiling tile grid and blends into décor
- Exceptional performance provided by 2D array with 52 dual-polarized antenna beams
- Easy to use and maintain with IEEE 803.2af PoE, tilt sensor to detect when out of alignment, hysteresis feedback to alert when antenna may be blocked, and customizable beacon
- Easy programming using Octane SDK, LLRP and our extensions
- Reader software optimizations accommodate large numbers of tags that are read repeatedly without compromising performance
