1.1 In the Package
Note: The Fan-out Box and RF Switch work in combination to allow more antenna connections.
One RFID Smart Reader can connect to one Fan-out box and four RF switches.
1.2 Introduction
The WNC RFID Smart Reader (the Reader) is suitable for a variety of UHF RFID applications. It
provides high level RF performance, a user-friendly software development interface and a cost
competitive reader solution. Combined with a Newave Shelf Antenna, it can provide 100%
readability in zone sizes of 2’x2’x2’ to 10’x10’x10’ with appropriate reader parameters and
antenna setup. You can also connect the Reader to a fan-out box and 1~4 RF switches to add
additional antennas. A maximum of 16 antennas are allowed for one Reader.
For multi-reader applications, such as retail applications, the Reader solution can efficiently
compress data size and solve data traffic issues.
