Overview
This UHF RFID reader is built around the award winning, high performance M5e UHF RFID reader module. It utilizes a local personal computer (not included) to provide command and control via its RS-232 serial interface. This RFID reader meets the harsh environments operating standards required for use in trucks and automobiles. It is ideal for deployment in a wide variety of indoor and outdoor applications.
