RFID Reader – The electronic devices used to read the data on RFID tags
RFID Reader – RFID tags are one side of the RFID technology, on the other side are RFID-readers, used to read the information on the RFID tags. To give you an idea of the industrial RFID-readers on the market, I want to show you the Motorola.com website. In the section about RFID-readers, you will find fixed RFID-readers, mobile RFID-readers, and hand-held RFID readers. This web-page can be found here: http://www.motorola.com/Business/US-EN/Business+Product+and+Services/RFID/RFID+Readers . To each reader there is of course an antenna connected, to transmit to the tags and receive information from the RFID tags. Different types of RFID-reader antenna's are shown on the Motorola.com website. These different antenna's can be found here: http://www.motorola.com/Business/US-EN/Business+Product+and+Services/RFID/RFID+Reader+Antennas .
If you would like to learn out of first hand how RFID technology functions then you could play-around with the RFID experimentation kit as mentioned on ThinkGeek.com . This RFID experimentation kit could be used to experiment with RFID at home, to experiment with an USB RFID-reader. With the downloadable software you could develop your own custom RFID application. Playing around with RFID technology will give you a profound knowledge of how RFID technology works. This web-page can be found here: http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/security/907a/ .
The following website I want to mention to you is SparkFun.com. At SparkFun electronics they want to put RFID technology and other electronics in your hands. They want engineers, curious students, hobbyists and prototypers to be able to create their own RFID solution and other electronic solutions. That is why they are also offering RFID-readers. Their website, with RFID-readers, can be found here: http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8628 , and also here: http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8419 . They also offer related books and they have a knowledge-base on their website.
For an example of a RFID serial card reader, we take a look at parallax.com . Parallax is a supplier to the electronics industry, which offers technically innovative solutions. One of these solutions is theRFID-reader in the form of a serial card. The web-page with complete details can be found here: http://www.parallax.com/tabid/768/ProductID/114/Default.aspx .
An answer to the question “what is an RFID-reader” can be found at TechNovelGy.com . You will be able to find it at the following web-page: http://www.technovelgy.com/ct/Technology-Article.asp?ArtNum=54 .
An article about low cost RFID readers can be found at RFIDjournal.com . This article can be found here: http://www.rfidjournal.com/article/view/279/1/1 .
The following place with a focus on RFID technology is ThinkMagic.com . They focus on the development of advanced RFID solutions for their customers. They are at the fore-front of RFID-reader development. That is why you could take a look at their solutions and products, they can be found here: http://www.thingmagic.com/home .
And finally I want to tell you about RFIDreader.com. This website displays RFID-readers by different manufacturers. Here you will be able to find out which RFID-readers are available on the market today. If you can not find what you are looking for, you could still consider developing your own solution, or having it developed for you.
