Essen has unveiled the new RFID device “Xtenna” that makes up for all the shortcomings as it is designed to optimize operations, improve and increase functionality more than the present applications. Essen’s Xtenna presents RFID bands in countries like EU, Asia and the U.S.A with models that are operating in 865-870MHz, 902-928MHz, and 840-844MHz category. Along with dynamic multi-protocol capability and others, it is equipped with superior tag reading performance (up to 50 feet) supporting dense reader mode and overcomes multiple sources of signal interference.

It is in fact amazing to know Xtenna has the ability to be used in remote locations covering long distances maintaining a good signal. Usage of Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) for transmission and converting sensitive analog RF signals into digital at source, Xtenna saves us from experiencing loss or decrease during data transmission. The advantage of Xtenna is its requirement of an inexpensive CAT-6 cable capable of carrying 48V DC power with data. But the RF cable has a sensitive analog signal; Xtenna stands stable with digital transmission. RF cable covers short distance about 20 ft before signal deterioration.

But Xtenna & PoE switch helps in covering up to 330ft. Essen’s Xtenna comes in two version one is Pilot Project Kit and another is Mini-pilot project kit, which can be availed at Essen Mumbai or through global affiliates spread across the US and EU.
