i-CARD CF 350

The i-CARD CF-350 is an interrogator for Intelligent Long Range(ILR) tags in a CF card format. It is the the newest development in
GABRIEL's product range for mobile RFID equipment. ILR provides highly accurate, real-time data collection with minimal human intervention in wireless applications such as:

• identification
• tracking and tracing and
• localization of assets or personnel.

Using advanced UHF radio frequency technology, the i-CARD CF-350transmits and receives data at distances of up to 500 meters (1500 ft). The unique, highly sophisticated anti-collision algorithm guarantees identification of thousands of Tags located concurrently within the interrogator's read zone. The high rate of transmission allows communication even with rapidly-moving Tags.

Combined with other GABRIEL ILR system components, the i-CARD CF-350 offers a leading-edge wireless, automated data collection tool that is easily integrated into advanced information systems.
When it is incorporated into the CF Card slot of a laptop, handheld or mobile computer, the i-CARD CF-350 allows the seamless integration of i-Q350 information into industry-standard tools. The result is real-time information, where and whenever it is needed.
The i-CARD CF-350 comes with a software library package to allow quick development of user applications. Drivers for several different operating systems like Windows CE/9x/NT/2000/XP and Linux are included.
The built-in software features allow various functions such as:

• communication with ILR 350 tags
• data processing
• firmware update from the CF interface

The feature-rich i-CARD CF, combined with other GABRIELS ILR system components, offers a leading-edge wireless, automated data-collection tool that is easily integrated into advanced information systems.

Communication with response tags: The i-CARD CF-350 offers the ability to adjust the read/write range with i-Q350 tags from a range of < 1 meter (3 feet) up to 250 m (800 ft).
Collecting date from beacon tags: The i-CARD CF-350 can detect the broadcast messages of i-Q350 tags from a distance of up to 500 m (1600 ft).
2000-tag simultaneous identification Large numbers of tags can be identified virtually simultaneously.
