Nephsystem Technologies Announced the Debut of Their New Ultra Rugged Active RFID Reader

British Columbia, Canada, October 14, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Nephsystem Technologies, a leading provider of radio frequency identification (“RFID”) technology, announced the debut of their new Ultra Rugged (IP67 rating) and active RFID reader and series tags. The Active reader is designed to endure exposure to extreme environmental and physical conditions, coupled with its new infrastructure products, a system that enables tracking, location and security of inventory and other assets placed in areas exposed to extremes of weather conditions and physical stress can now be offered.

NephSystem Technologies’s NSAR-800 Ultra Rugged (IP67 rating) and ultra-long range active RFID reader operates in global and open radio frequency band of 2.45GHz. NSAR-800 uses a built in Omni-directional antenna allowing it to identify NephSystem’s NSAT series of regular active tags up to 180 meters (600 feet). The reading range of the reader can also be adjusted by software to ensure reliable identification. With NephSystem’s heavy duty active tags (model: NSAT-704), the reading distance could be up to 1500 meters (4900 feet) in an outdoor environment.

By using advanced 0.13um CMOS IC technology, NSAR-800 features with high-recognition, ultra-long reading range, ultra-low power consumption, high- reliability & expandability, etc. With its ultra-rugged/compact design (IP67 rating), NSAR-800 is ideal for deployment in a wide variety of indoor and outdoor applications, such as Personnel Tracking/Monitoring, Warehouse Management, High Value Asset Tracking, Hospital, Schools, Vehicle/Train Tracking, Parking Management, Manufacturing, Shop Floor, Toll, etc.

NSAR-800 is also equipped with built-in and software controllable digital dry-contact relay channels, capable of controlling other peripherals such as gates, sirens, garage doors, etc.

NSAR-800 main features of ultra-rugged, water-proof and low cost capabilities make it easy to be expanded for most of rugged applications. NephSystem’s NSAR-800 2.45GHz active RFID reader is one of the toughest and longest ranges of RFID devices on the market.
