This new reader family and associated ID-tags extends the Tag Master product portfolio and fully supports the ISO 18000-6 type C standard, often referred to as EPC Gen 2. It provides automatic identification at up to 5 metres with a passive ID-tag. The XT series readers support both standard EPC Gen 2 tags as well as the Tag Master Secure Mark ID solution, which ensures that each ID-tag mark is unique and prevents duplication of a tag identity. The XT series provides an ideal solution for vehicle access installations with a high volume of ID-tags.

The XT reader family is equipped with the same Linux operating system as the existing LR series readers from TagMaster, thus supporting the same well known software applications and software development kit available with the market leading LR series. These software applications will now be available in the XT series, providing an extensive set of functionality and interfaces, which makes integration to management systems and other equipment both quick and easy.

The XT readers and ID-tags will be a complement to the existing Tag Master product portfolio. The LR-series of readers using 2.45 GHz technology is well recognised as market leading RFID system with installations all over the world, in all climate conditions and working in all types of demanding applications. The XT series meet the high demands for reliability and functionality set up by Tag Master’s global network of partners. This new range of products provides added advantages made available due to the characteristics in the ISO standard.
