1. INTRODUCTION

RDR-7018BN-NEO is a long-range (35 to 50 feet) Radio Frequency Identification ( RFID)
reader with TCP/IP interface and general purpose digital I/O (GP I/O - four (4) input four
(4) outputs) that works with most leading passive UHF passive tags. This reader comes
with a unique combination of long read range, small size, and low power c onsumption.
Its primary applications are toll collection, asset management and tracking, and fleet
management applications.

In order to control the RDR-7018BN-NEO reader you will need the following:

 Computer with Network connection
 Host software (demo software or your own custom software).
 RFID Tags (EPC Class 1 Gen 2, ISO Type B, etc)

1.1. SPECIAL FEATURES

 Multi-Protocol: ISO-18000-6 Type B/C, EPC Class 1 Gen 2
 Thin passive tags with long-range performance
 High performance linear polarized antenna
 Splash proof design for indoor or outdoor applications
 UV stabilized housing
