Passive Long Range
Passive long range readers provide you the best vehicle ID solution. They let vehicles merely slow down for identification before transiting entrance gates. That reduces time, fuel costs, carbon emissions.
Idesco’s long range passive EPC 2.0 readers can also highly encrypt reader-tag transactions, and support easy reader updating, all provided by the latest EPC Gen2v2 standard. And yes – that standard is fully backwards compatible with earlier EPC tags.
Best of all, passive tags will save you lots of money, since they usually cost less than 1% the price of high-maintenance active tags. They are also rugged, inexpensive (no internal batteries), and detectable out to 10 – 15 meters.
How does passive long range work?
The reason this UHF technology is called ‘Passive’ is because the tags don’t need batteries. Instead, tag replies are powered by energy from your reader’s original query. By contrast, active tags not only need batteries to reply, but can cost 500x more than passive tags while also burdening you with significant maintenance overhead. What overhead? Active tags require regular servicing to
replace spent batteries. Unfortunately, that same serviceability also renders active tags less reliable in outdoor environments. So, since almost any imaginable vehicle ID task you will have only needs to detect a tag out to 10 to 15 meters, passive UHF technology is almost always the most cost-effective and supremely reliable solution you should consider.
Long range EPC 2.0 will meet your every requirement
Encrypted high security
Gen2v2 standard supports secure 128-bit AES encryption and convenient reader updating by configuration card – uninstall is no longer needed.
Anticollision capability
Anticollision means reading every tag within range simultaneously – ideal for identification applications that regularly confront dense transit point traffic.
Determine vehicle direction
Record vehicle directions by sequentially detecting tags transiting two covered zones. Ideal solution for traffic assessment purposes.
Multi-access support
Combine access to parking lots with residential or workplace access in a single transponder. Even add cafeteria lunch payment!
Auxiliary antenna option
An external auxiliary antenna lets your reader work like two! Detect traffic on opposing lanes, expand your detection zone or even determine vehicles’ directions.
Adjustable read range
Adjusting your reader’s power lets you refine its detection zone – a convenient way to focus your reader specifically on the vehicle closest to it.
Idesco EPC long range readers solve other needs
Vehicle identification
Deploy Idesco EPC 2.0 readers to monitor vehicle entrance gates and more, for fast, convenient identification, without stopping. An auxiliary antenna lets you control simultaneous, opposing lane traffic. Besides standard windshield tags, EPC 2.0 also reads dual tags containing both vehicle and personal access credentials. That lets your employees use the same tag to enter the parking garage and then their workplace.
Logistics
EPC 2.0 readers also provide an ideal solution for logistics tasks with their ability to detect passive UHF tags out to 10-15 meters. Passive UHF tags aren’t just inexpensive. They are also more reliable than active or battery-powered tags and have no maintenance costs. They accommodate a wide range of tasks and surfaces, from attaching to metal to washable laundry tags, streamlining your logistics in any environment or setting.
Hands-free access
For automated, powered doors, Idesco’s small, efficient EPC 2.0 Compact provides convenient hands-free access at distances out to 4 meters. Secure access with no need to stop and wave an access card is more than just convenient – it can save time in factories, and more than just time when hospital staff are transporting patients or other vitally needed equipment.
