Mission Critical Asset Tracking

Mantis II Active RFID Reader

Mantis II Benefits

The 433 MHz Mantis II reader is the most advanced RFID (Radio Frequency

Identification) reader in RF Codes Mantis product family. Mantis II readers

track battery-powered RFID tags to quickly locate and identify assets or people

in a defined area. Our patented RF architecture allows for very high tag density

and enables customers to deploy dynamic asset tracking initiatives without

worrying about data loss.

By combining a modular design with a low price, the Mantis II solutions unique

capabilities can be leveraged in a wide variety of applications --- with a proven

return on investment.

Mantis II readers detect and interpret the radio frequency data emitted by

active RFID asset tags, which can be read at distances of more than 1000 feet

depending on the antenna configuration. Because all Mantis readers are

compatible with both wired and wireless networks, they can be rapidly andinexpensively integrated into an organizations IT infrastructure.

The Mantis II reader offers an unparalleled feature set for scalable, high volume

asset tracking architectures.
