HyperX Long Range Reader
Hyper X™ is a long range, hands-free tagging identification system. It uses semi-passive read-only tags that utilise the power from the antenna for data communications and provides fast and reliable identification.
Hyper X can be combined with a simple stand-alone controller such as the CRC100 to open a barrier / gate etc. for authorised users or can form part of an integrated access management system, where the data from the tag can be processed to monitor / record movement etc.
Hyper X has one major advantage over standard proximity or magnetic stripe technologies. The system is hands-free so the user does not need to stop to interact with the reader. This is particularly useful in vehicle applications enabling a faster process avoiding queues and congestion.
The technology operates on 2.45 GHz microwave frequency, reducing the interference found on other frequencies and is relatively insensitive to the environment.
Readers
Nortech offers a choice of readers to suit different applications and environments. The type of reader chosen will depend upon the defined identification area and the reading distance required. Readers can be easily mounted on walls, posts, and barriers or included in a roadside pedestal. Vehicles can be detected at a distance of up to 8m even at speed.
Tags
Tags can be provided as lightweight cards for vehicle identification. They are typically placed behind the windscreen of a vehicle using an easily attached clip.
The Hyper X tags contain a long-life battery to power the onboard electronics. The tags are semi-passive and the battery is not used for the generation of RF energy resulting in a longer life. The lifetimes of the tags are constant and independent of tag usage. The reading distance for all tags for any given reader is constant and independent of age.
Special heavy duty vehicle mount tags, suitable for harsh environments, are also available. These can be mounted directly against metal surfaces and are ideal for fleet management and railway applications.
