RFID Readers

Our readers are built for the challenging environments that are representative in the real world. They are robust, tough and high performance even in the most challenging conditions. Our readers are different. They have advanced “filtering” and “intelligence” that competitors do not possess. This benefits you with less network traffic, fewer additional pieces of network equipment and lower setup and maintenance costs.
