AdvanMux-16, 16 port advanced RFID UHF multiplexer

AdvanMux-16 is a high performance 16 port multiplexer that expands by a factor 16 the number of antennas that can be connected to each port of an RFID reader. AdvanMux-16 is compatible with most RFID reader models in the market, including Keonn, Impinj, Zebra, Alien, ThingMagic and others. The AdvanMux-16 reduces the cost associated with large scale RFID systems by minimising the amount of readers required for multiple antenna applications. 

AdvanMux-16 is connected to the I/O port of most reader models, and it is controlled by sending simple commands to the reader. This facilitates the control of AdvanMux-16 and its synchronization with the reader. Any port of AdvanMux-16 can be selected at any time. AdvanMux-16 can be directly connected to AdvanReader-100 and AdvanReader-150 through a conventional Ethernet cable. For other reader models, a reader-specific cable adapter or the AdvanGPIO connection board can be ordered that connect the digital I/O port of the reader to one of the two RJ45 control ports of AdvanMux-16 multiplexer. The following picture shows the cable adapter for a specific reader model and the AdvanGPIO connection board.
