The Acceliot STARflex reader combines the unmatched performance and location capabilities of the STAR architecture with a highly flexible new interface design optimized for cost effective, easy-to-deploy solutions for enclosed environments such as real-time retail inventory tracking, ambulatory patient flow management and indoor asset tracking. STARflex outperforms in indoor applications where reflections from metal shelves and fixtures interfere with line-of-sight between the reader and the tag, reducing read rates. Thanks to the exclusive distributed excitation architecture, the STARflex reader can detect tag signals up to one hundred times weaker than traditional 4-port readers, making it easier to read tags after multiple reflections. This results in more tags captured in less time and higher overall system reliability.
