Choosing the Right RFID Reader

Intermec IP3 Portable Reader

The IP3 Intellitag® reader is an accessory handle for attachment to the popular Intermec 700 Series Color mobile computers. The IP3 was the first-of-its kind to combine the power of a handheld mobile computing device with three radios, and the ability to read and write to RFID tags. It allows the user to take the technology to the work-whether it's on the shop floor, the store floor or the receiving dock, whenever it's more practical to bring the read/write device to the tagged object rather than moving tagged objects passed a fixed reader.

IF4 Fixed Serial Reader

The IF4 fixed serial reader is a "peripheral device" specifically designed with a RS232 port, which provides a cost effective solution for implementing RFID by attaching the reader to a programmable logic controller (PLC). When identifying relatively small numbers of items at a time, such as boxes traveling on multiple conveyor belts, cost savings can be achieved by deploying a single IF4 reader with four antennas instead to installing four separate readers with one antenna each.

Specifications

Dimensions: 7.5"L x 2.6"H x 5.3"W
Operating Temperature: -4ºF to 131ºF
Frequency Range: 915 and 2450 MHz
Air Interface: ISO

IF5 Fixed "Smart" Reader

Considered a "smart" reader, custom applications running on the IF5 enable it to filter information from tags, as well as monitor external sensors and control audible and visual indicators, without the expense and potential additional failure point of a separate server "box" that is often required by other RFID scanning solutions. The IF5 reader is factory configured to operate in two of the three RFID frequency bands: 869MHz (Zone 1, primarily Europe), and 915MHz (Zone 2, primarily North and South America). Rules for operating in the third zone, 950MHz (Zone 3, primarily Japan and Asia), are still being written.

Specifications

Dimensions: 14.0"l x 9.1"w x 3.75"w 14.0"L
Operating Temperature: -13ºF to 158ºF
Frequency Range: 869 and 915 MHz 869 and
Connection to Network: Ethernet, 802.11G or 802.3 wired
Air Interface: ISO and/or EPC

Intermec Sabre 1555 Bar Code & RFID Portable Reader

The Intermec Sabre 1555 is an extremely powerful data collection device capable of scanning bar codes as well as reading and programming RFID tags and labels. The Sabre 1555 combines a laser scan engine for reliable bar code scanning up to 5m (7ft) with the capacity to read/program RFID tags up to a 2m (6ft) range. By tethering the Sabre 1555 to an existing Intermec handheld or vehicle-mount computer, RFID read/write capability can be inexpensively added to the enterprise.

Specifications

Dimensions: 5.75"L x 8.75"H x 3.5"W
Operating Temperature: 32ºF to 122ºF
Frequency Range: 915 and 2450 MHz
Connection to Network: RS232

Intermec CV60 Vehicle Mount Computer with Intellitag

Using an internal single-antenna module, an external 4-antenna module, or an external tethered handheld, the CV60 is the first RFID-enabled vehicle mounted computer on the market with full PC functionality and a bright 12" color touch screen display. It delivers the ultimate flexibility in RFID supply chain management because it is able to perform RFID reading and programming right where the data is-at the dock, on the warehouse floor, in the trailer or in the yard.

Specifications

Dimensions: 10.7"H x 13.4"W x 3.7"D
Operating Temperature: -4ºF to 122ºF
Frequency Range: 915 MHz
Connection to Network: 802.11g
