Motorola Solutions Unveils Next Generation Industrial-Class Fixed RFID Reader

Motorola Solutions introduced the FX9500 industrial-class fixed RFID reader for reading RFID-enabled pallets, cases and items at dock doors, conveyors and other industrial portal-based read points.

As RFID technology has evolved and improved, RFID-based business solutions have expanded to address a wider variety of use cases. RFID solutions can now be applied to RF-challenged items such as those with high liquid or metal content, or in situations requiring much higher read performance - such as reading tags in the middle of densely packed pallets.

The high-performance FX9500 industrial fixed reader overcomes these challenges, extending the business value of RFID solutions to new industries and applications.

The Motorola FX9500 is a rugged, high-performance fixed RFID reader built for demanding industrial RFID applications in manufacturing, distribution and warehouse, and retail receiving environments.

The increased sensitivity of the FX9500 RFID reader yields greater accuracy for reading RF-challenging items, longer read ranges for applications such as yard management and higher throughput rates to read more tags as item-level RFID adoption increases and densely packed goods become more commonplace.

It is available in four-port/antenna configurations, as well as eight-port/antenna configurations that can cover more portals or dock doors with fewer readers, saving on deployment costs and achieving a lower cost per read point.

It allows for bistatic operation, where separate cables are used for antenna transmitting and receiving, for even higher RFID performance.
