FX9500 fixed RFID reader: As RFID technology has evolved and improved, RFID-based
business solutions have expanded to address
a wider variety of uses. RFID solutions can
now be applied to “radio frequency (
RF)-chal-lenged” items such as those with a high liquid or metal content. The technology can also
be applied in situations requiring much higher read performance—such as reading tags in
the middle of densely packed pallets.
The FX9500 industrial fixed reader from
Motorola Solutions overcomes many of these
challenges, extending the business value of
RFID solutions to new industries and applications. The FX9500 RFID reader is designed for
reading RFID-enabled pallets, cases, and items
at dock doors, conveyors, and other industrial portal-based read points.
This rugged, high-performance fixed RFID
reader is built for demanding industrial RFID
applications in manufacturing, distribution
and warehousing, and retail. Compared to
other readers, the FX9500 RFID reader is more
sensitive and yields greater accuracy for reading RF-challenged items, longer read ranges
for applications such as yard management,
and faster throughput rates for reading tags,
the manufacturer says.
The FX9500 is available in four-port/anten-na configurations as well as eight-port/anten-na configurations, which can cover more portals or dock doors with fewer readers, saving
on deployment costs and achieving a lower
cost per read point. The new reader allows for
bistatic operation, where separate cables are
used for antenna transmitting and receiving,
for even higher RFID performance. (Motorola
