CS108 - The Longest Read Range in the Industry
CS108 is the best in class read range UHF RAIN RFID handheld sled reader in the market. It communicates over Bluetooth with devices running Android, iOS, Linux and Windows.
About the Product
Long Read Range, Rugged Design, Use Any Device or OS
Highlights
Excellent read range: Up to 18 meters with Linear Polarized Antenna; Up to 15 meters with Circular Polarized Antenna (tag and environment dependent)
This read range enables fast inventory of items on pallets,
warehouse shelves, moving vehicles, and other tagged items in business processes where fixed
reader class performance is required in a portable device.
“We designed the CS108 to have the longest read range and work with the most diverse range of mobile devices.”
Jerry Garret - CSL Managing Director
Barcode and RFID
Optional 2D barcode scanner module is available. Read RFID tags and barcodes with one device.
Certified Rugged Design
Rugged design that is drop tested to 1.2 meters and rated IP54.
Use Any Device Size and OS
API's for Android, iOS, Linux and Windows. Mounting options for tablets or thick enterprise devices.
Mounting Options for Your Device
One size doesn't fit all for today's mobile devices.
We know that mobile devices come in all shapes and sizes, so we designed a modular system to fit almost every size of mobile device on the market. Each mount style is spring loaded to adjust to the exact size of your device.
Tall Mount (Thick Devices)
For mobile phone or tablet with thickness range from 15 mm (0.59 inches) to 28 mm (1.10 inches).
Also a width range from 65 mm (2.56 inches) to 115 mm (4.53 inches).
Wide Mount (Small Tablets)
For mobile phone or tablet with width range from 105mm (4.13inches) to 150 mm (5.90 inches)
Standard Mount
