AdvanReader-70A, High performance confined reading area

AdvanReader-70A is a high-performance, high-flexibility reader with integrated antenna ideal for check-in / check-out applications of items, people and assets. AdvanReader-70A has high output power (27 dBm) and high sensitivity and its confined beam antenna allows to control very well the reading area, even with far field tags, avoiding in this way stray reads. AdvanReader-70A has an on-board microcomputer and a fully open Linux operating system and comes with a comprehensive set of built-in HW/SW communication options:

• USB HID emulation: allows generating keyboard events based on Reader events.
• HTTP: user-configurable HTTP request generation based on Reader events.
• MQTT: user-configurable MQTT packet generation based on Reader events.
• SQL: user-configurable SQL sentence generation based on Reader events.
• TCP: real-time TCP socket of Reader events.
• REST API

AdvanReader-70A includes an internal buzzer and an internal speaker of 2W for emitting an acoustic signal when an event takes place, e.g. when a tag is read. AdvanReader-70A includes 3 surface LEDs with different colours that can be configured as desired. The hardware keyboard emulation functionality hardware (USB Type-B connector) allows a very easy and fast integration with computers used for check-in/check-out applications, without having to modify any application software.

The keyboard emulator is easily configured to send the keyboard codes required by each software application. AdvanReader-70A can also be connected to an Ethernet network switch. This gives the advantages of an Ethernet-enabled device: remote control, centralized management, etc.
