SAMSys Announces Production of Its New Multi-Protocol, Multi-Regional Reader
SAMSys MP9320 V2.7 Reader ramps up reader production for US and
European regulatory standards
TORONTO, July 15 /CNW/ - SAMSys Technologies Inc. (SMY: TSX), an
international provider of Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) hardware
solutions and consulting services today announces the introduction of its new
MP9320 V2.7 multi-protocol UHF reader which meets FCC and both current and
proposed European ETSI regulatory standards. The introduction of this reader
allows multi-national companies the capability of standardizing on one reader
product which can operate in multiple regulatory settings, including the
challenging European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) regulation
EN302-208 (draft), which calls for frequency hopping in the 865 - 868 MHz
bands and limited duty cycle in the transmit mode (listen before talk) at
power levels up to 2 watts.
"The MP9320 V2.7 reader supports a variety of UHF tag protocols and
provides customers the best defense against future obsolescence due to
regulatory changes," stated James "Tres" Wiley, president and chief operating
officer of SAMSys. "With its extended read range and high data rates, this
reader is especially suited for asset management and logistics applications
requiring the simultaneous reading of a large number of tags at greater
distances."
This release of the multi-protocol SAMSys reader supports the ISO 18000-
6A and 6B protocols, Philips UCODE EPC 1.19, EM Marin 4022 and 4222, Intermec
Intellitag and EPC Class 1 tags. This support of a broad array of tag
protocols, coupled with the ability to meet radio regulatory standards in the
US and Europe have led to the adoption of the new reader in test centers and
with end users in Europe . "Our European customers not only want to reliably
read a variety of tag types, but read them well under the lower operating
power levels as compared to the US. We are very pleased in the performance of
this version of our popular UHF reader design" stated Wiley. With RF
connections for up to four antennas, the MP9320 V2.7 reader easily adapts to
loading dock, portal installations and conveyor applications for aggregated
carton tracking, pallet tracking and inventory management.
Delivery of the MP9320 V2.7 reader will commence the week of July 26. The
price of the Version 2.7 multi-protocol UHF reader remains unchanged from
earlier versions not supporting the new ETSI regulations.
The MP9320 V2.7 reader is a member of the SAMSys family of products,
which provides a complete solution for large and small RFID applications. For
