2 Product Overview
The MDR-4330AT desktop reader represents a breakthrough in 3 dimensional antenna
technology, allowing full orientation insensitive read and write capability. Large numbers of tagged
items can be quickly and accurately identified, regardless of their orientation on the reader surface.
The MDR-4330AT desktop reader is a standalone device which is fitted with full ferrite shielding
and uses field cancellation techniques to ensure there is no operational interference from surrounding
objects (such as metal shelving or other electronic equipment) and it will not interrupt operation of any
other nearby sensitive equipment.
The MDR-4330AT offers connection to a PC via Ethernet or USB and is simple to set up and use,
straight out of the box. It is supplied with our Reader Manager software which provides a platform for
reader setup, configuration, demonstration, testing and application development.
The MDR-4330AT has been successfully adopted across various industries ranging from the
medical field, Document, diamond and precious gem tracking. It is suitable for any application where
few or many tightly packed tagged items need to be read/written to quickly and accurately irrespective
of their orientation.
The communication protocol used by the M DR-4330 AT Reader is compliant with ISO/IEC
18000 - 3 Mode 2 (Air Interface at 13.56 MHz).
