Essen has launched the next-gen RFID device Xtenna, that overcomes current RFID shortcomings, extends reach, improves and optimizes operations, and therefore extends functionality beyond existing applications. Essen’s Xtenna is a ready-to-use integrated RFID device that is both convenient to use and extremely cost-effective.
Essen’s Xtenna covers RFID bands across the EU, USA, China, Korea & India through models that operate in the 865-870 MHz, 902-928 MHz, 840–844 MHz, spectrum respectively. Its advanced RFID reader has dynamic multi-protocol capability that is fully compliant with future standards. Along with superior tag reading performance (upto 50 feet) that not only supports Dense Reader Mode but also overcomes multiple sources of signal interference.
Xtenna has the ability to be also used in remote locations and over long distances without signal deterioration. By using Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) for transmission and converting sensitive analog RF signals to digital at source, Xtenna eliminates any scope of loss or deterioration during data transmission.
Xtenna’s advantage over an ordinary RF cable is multifold. Xtenna requires an inexpensive CAT-6 cable that can carry 48V DC power simultaneously along with data. Unlike the RF cable’s sensitive analog signal, Xtenna provides a stable digital transmission. Moreover, RF cable has a limited distance of upto 20 ft before signal deterioration. With Xtenna, this is offset as the distance between XtennaTM & PoE switch can now be enhanced to 330ft without loss.
Essen has a patent pending with the US & Indian Patent Offices. Essen has partnered with some of the leading players both in India as well as global firms operating in the RFID applications space.
Essen’s Xtenna is available in two versions namely a Pilot Project Kit & a Mini-pilot project kit & is available directly through Essen Mumbai or through its list of global affiliates spread across US & EU.
