Dynamically self-optimizing for best possible real-world performance
e.g. noisy or multi-reader environments
  • Dynamic “Smart-throttling” in adverse RF environments
  • Intelligent real-time Phase Cancellation
  • Maximizes the sensitivity and interference rejection in all environments
  • Other confidential techniques
  • Robust against significant tag collisions
  • Maintains optimal sensitivity even in highly reflective environments
  • More likely than competitors to read tags in high interference environments (other readers and RF sources)
Extensible and obsolescence proof
  • Reconfigurable RF subsystem – Enables RF performance upgrades
  • MicroSDslot
  • USBHost
  • Firmware modernization
  • Enables virtually any amount of memory to be added
  • Add external peripherals including cellular, WiFi or BT
