Vizinex RFID Introduces Extra-Long Read Range Tag

A longer read range can help RFID users. To meet this need, Vizinex RFID recently introduced the next generation of its long read range tag, the XLR. The XLR has an extra-long read range of 100+ feet on metal surfaces and is designed for long life in outdoor and industrial environments.

The US-made XLR tag uses the latest generation RFID chip and is the smallest passive tag on the market (5.28 x 1.7 x 0.5 inches) with a read range in excess of 100 feet.  It is engineered with extremely rugged packaging and is designed for applications requiring long-range asset identification, such as in construction, yard and cargo management and vehicle and container tracking.

The XLR’s works best when mounted on metal, but has an excellent read range on virtually any surface, the company reports. The tag can withstand vibration, weather elements, road salt, harsh cleaning chemistries  and other environmental challenges for extended periods.

“The cost-effective XLR tags are designed for accurate and efficient tracking of objects that an RFID reader can’t get too close to, such as cargo containers, large vehicles and construction equipment,” says Ken Horton, co-founder and CEO, Vizinex RFID. “The XLR tags can be read when an object is stationary or moving. We designed the XLR for military asset tracking, yard/fleet management and cargo, container and pallet tracking.”
