RFID multiplexers: AdvanMux-16TM
 |
 |
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 easy to connect to practically every RFID reader in the market, including Impinj, Sirit, Motorola, ThingMagic Mercury6, and others.
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 a lot the control of AdvanMux-16 and its synchronization with the reader. Any port of AdvanMux-16 can be selected at any time.
Business benefits of AdvanMux-16:
- Reduces the cost of RFID applications with many antennas
- Very fast and easy connection
- Compatible with most reader models
- Easy selection of ports by sending proper commands to the reader
- Easy control of several multiplexers by interconnecting them with standard Ethernet cables
- Low insertion loss
