Joining an already diversified line of RFID readers, the Intermec Intellitag IF5 Gen 2 RFID Fixed Reader delivers unmatched capability at the tag scan site. Considered a “smart” reader, custom applications running on the IF5 enable it to filter information from tags, as well as monitor external sensors and control audible and visual indicators, without the expense, and potential additional point of failure, of a separate server “box” required by other RFID scanning solutions. As with all Intellitag reader products, the IF5 both reads and writes to RFID tags.

The Intermec Intellitag IF5 Gen 2 Fixed RFID Reader is based on a Linux platform and runs IBM's WebSphere Everyplace Micro Environment (WEME). This eliminates the additional cost of an additional PC for data filtering or processing at the point of collection. In fact, in large enterprises, the need from a server for every RFID reader becomes obsolete -- not only reducing costs but also the number of potential failure points.

Additionally, the Intermec Intellitag IF5 Gen 2 RFID Fixed Reader is able to run custom applications to filter information from tags. The interface included with this RFID reader simplifies the control of RFID interrogators with text-like command/response protocol that is portable to many platforms, easy to learn, easy to optimize and easy to support.
