The Motorola (Symbol) Cargo Tag is an all-weather RFID tag designed for the most demanding outdoor applications. With the durability required for 24-hour-a-day outdoor exposure in most environmental conditions, this robust tag offers proven tolerance of natural and incandescent light, vibration, shock, rain, dust, oil and chemical resistance, and more. This Gen 2 EPC™-compliant tag delivers accurate and reliable read performance of up to 40 feet/12.19m, enabling you to achieve maximum benefits in RFID cargo and asset tracking applications.

Full mounting flexibility ensures the ability to install the tag wherever needed — the integral back plate can be secured with either an adhesive or metal screws. And a recessed area for a bar code label ensures your ability to track and scan cargo and assets end-to-end, with bar code or RFID fixed, mobile or handheld data capture devices.

The Cargo Tag is designed with Motorola (Symbol) technology innovations that deliver outstanding performance and reliability. Signals are easier to read via patented inlay technology that improves RF efficiency. The tag is tuned to utilize the aluminum backplate to improve the signal. The integrated antenna is designed to deliver superior read range. And since there is no battery to change, this passive tag is maintenance free, reducing the time and cost associated with replacing batteries in active tags — and eliminating any loss of read capability in your system due to a dead tag battery.

Features

• Patented inlay-integrated circuit technology; integral 4 in. x 4 in. antenna; tuned to leverage the integrated aluminum backplate for increased performance
• Tested for shock, rain, dust, light immunity, oil and chemical resistance, solar tolerance, humidity and extreme temperatures
• Gen 2 Class 1 EPC™ compliant tag
• Mounts via adhesive or off-the-shelf 1/8 in. bolts or screws to metal, plastic, wood or any other flat surface
• Passive RFID technology
• 96-bit memory with 16-bit control for lock and kill features

Benefits

• Longer read ranges and more accurate read rates — up to 40 ft./12.19m and up to 400 tags per second
• Rugged design endures the rigors of most outdoor environments
• Standards compliance ensures compatibility with any Gen 2 RFID system
• Provides the flexibility to attach to nearly any flat surface
• Reduced cost of ownership — unlike active tags which require batteries, ‘battery-free’ passive tags are virtually maintenance-free throughout the life of the tag
• Enables secure storage of the data you need to maximize the benefit of your RFID application

Industries and Applications

• Transportation (trucking): cargo container identification/tracking, yard/fleet management, express delivery vehicle identification, and vehicle and trailer tracking
• Aerospace/marine/rail: Cargo container tracking, supply container identification, and rail freight car identification/tracking
• Government (federal, state, local): Mass transit (light rail car) identification, municipal utility/passenger fleet management, military vehicle identification, and supply container tracking
