Trolley Scan delivers new compact fixed reader for UHF RFID transponders

July 2004 Asset Management, Infrastructure

Trolley Scan has announced that as part of providing users with the necessary infrastructure to implement leading edge RFID systems they are delivering a new compact, ergonomically pleasing, fixed reader offering read ranges as far as 11 m even when transponders are attached to metal objects.

Trolley Scan has repackaged its super sensitive reader in a new lightweight case that is ergonomically pleasing, suitable for mass manufacture, and yet maintains its high standard of performance and electromagnetic compatibility with other users in the RF spectrum.

The new reader is housed in a moulded ABS plastic case, weighs just 3,5 kg, operates on mains power, operates on the UHF frequencies of 860 MHz to 930 MHz using only 10 kHz bandwidth, uses a bistatic antenna system and can read up to 500 transponders in a field at a time.

Says Mike Marsh, MD of Trolley Scan, "The new reader complements our existing range of fixed and portable readers, working with the popular 200 microwatt Ecochiptag credit card-size transponders produced by Trolley Scan and offering very impressive range performance for passive UHF technology. With this new reader we continue to lead the way in UHF RFID systems.

The new reader is compatible with the EcoTag, Ecochiptag, Ecowoodtag and the laundry tag produced by Trolley Scan and their licensees.
