Inexpensive Short Range Integrated UHF Gen 2 Reader Antenna Combination

Cambridge, Canada, October 04, 2008 --(PR.com)-- SkyRFID Inc. recently announced the availability of their new EPC Gen 2 Short Range Reader/Writer/Antenna in a single housing. AC powered for 110 or 240 volts with a weight of just less than 1 Kg plus a size of 250 mm x 250 mm x 70 mm (about 10 inches square x 3 inches) making it perfect for applications requiring a compact single reader with a read range of 2 meters or under.

Based on the number of requests for small compact fixed readers that do not need the full 4 antenna capabilities or the full power and zone coverage of a four port fixed reader SkyRFID now offers a much more cost effective solution. Many applications such as event management, access control, asset management and others need just a single antenna for RFID monitoring requirements. This unit provides a power transmission strength that is adjustable between 20 and 30 dBm and uses either an RS 232 or RS 485 for connectivity to a single PC or a port concentrator for multiple single antenna units. In addition the unit is available in both 860 ~ 868 MHz and 902 ~928 MHz configurations so it can be used anywhere EPC standards are required.

Now you don’t need to buy a 4 port reader and a single antenna. The best part about this new reader combination is that is comes with an SDK (Software Development Kit) at no extra cost and is priced under $ 500 USD making it a very attractive purchase option.
