Network Reader
Product Profile
IF
2
The Intermec IF2 is a compact, cost-
eective network reader designed to
support diverse RFID applications in both
enterprise and industrial environments
that require a scalable RFID system
with a low cost per read point.
The IF2 is based on an Intermec-designed
radio frequency (RF) platform that
oers best-in-class read performance
and includes support for Intermec’s
exclusive Advanced RFID Extensions
(ARX), helping customers achieve a new
level of visibility to the identification of
RFID tags for greater accuracy of reading
tags of interest over readers utilizing
less-versatile commodity chipsets.
Packaged in a small and lightweight, yet
durable enclosure, the IF2 is suited for
nearly any environment, including industrial
warehouse and manufacturing operations
and enterprise environments for asset
and inventory management applications.
Reduces System and Deployment Costs
for Large and Small Installations
With a focus on keeping the cost of
ancillary equipment and installation
low, the IF2 Network Reader includes
features that reduce the costs and
complexity of the overall solution.
Not only does the low-profile enclosure
with integrated mounting slots allow
the IF2 to be easily installed in virtually
any environment, the IF2 also supports
Power over Ethernet (PoE) for scalable
deployments without the cost of adding
electrical drops where AC line power is
not available or practical. An optional
DC converter is available to support
conventional wall power. Either power
method supports the full RF output power
capability of the IF2 (up to 30 dBm).
Because the general purpose input/
output (GPIO) circuitry can be powered
directly through either PoE or the DC
power converter, the IF2 allows for direct
monitoring and controlling of peripherals
such as presence detectors and signal
lights without requiring extra devices and
power supplies to facilitate the connection.
Further reducing installation and
equipment costs, the IF2’s four antenna
ports can be configured to transmit in
either mono- or bi-static mode, increasing
the flexibility of the system to achieve
the best results for the application and
environment. A variety of antennas
from Intermec’s extensive product line
supports diverse applications, versus
integrated antenna readers that include
one type of antenna and limit the flexibility
of applications and deployment.
