Positioning Savi Fixed Readers
Savi Fixed Readers are designed to operate in a wide variety of
environments. They are housed in rugged, weatherproof enclosures. In ideal
conditions (large, open, and unobstructed areas), Savi Readers can collect
tags up to 300 feet (91.44 meters) away.
An area can contain factors that limit the Savi Reader collection range,
including:
◆ Asymmetrical shape to the collection area
◆ Obstructions such as multiple walls, chained areas, solid-core doors, and
enclosures
