Microwave OEM Reader Products

Intellitag 500 reader/programmer
board sets are offered for integration
into radio frequency identification
(RFID) solutions requiring read range,
multitag sort, read/write, and memory
capacity not provided by older, less
flexible proximity technology. The
fixed reader/programmer board set is
designed as an option for the Intermec
2100 Universal Access Point (UAP),
but it may be integrated into other
microcontroller-based systems.

Readers can be programmed for
read only or read/write operation. A
powerful anticollision algorithm allows
tags up to 50 tags per second to be
scanned, regardless of the number of
tags in the read zone.

Intermec's Amtech Systems
Division, with over a decade of success
designing, producing, installing, and
supporting RFID solutions worldwide,
is developing a range of Intellitag 500
RFID inserts, tags, scanners, and
programmer subsystems for
availability beginning in 1999.

These products are available to
Intermec systems integration partners
in established transportation and
security-access RFID applications, as
well as growing applications in supply­chain management, retail operations,
manufacturing, logistics, health care,
and many more.

READ/WRITE PERFORMANCE

Read/write performance varies with
RFID inserts, tags, and antenna
configurations.

Sample dual antenna configuration is
illustrated below.

Read/Write Ranges

Write ranges are approximately 70%
of the effective read ranges of the
RFID inserts.

Read Range Examples

Ranges are listed below for RFID
inserts using frequency-hopping FCC
unlicensed operation reader and dual
antennas.

1.8 Meters (5.9 ft): 2.45 GHz 6 x 30
x.5 mm (.24 x 1.18 x .02 in) RFID
