GS20
Connectivity gateway that aggregates data from up to 16 readers in scan tunnels to boost parcel tracking and sorting throughput.
GS20 is a connectivity gateway that significantly improves parcel tracking and sorting throughput in scan tunnel applications. It supports arrays of up to 16 cameras. Data filtering removes duplicate reads and passes only the required data to the host application. Automatic GPIO mirroring copies one reader's I/O settings to the others, and TCP/IP-capable Zebra devices can be mixed.

Use cases
- Scan tunnels
- Parcel tracking
- Parcel sorting
- Multi-reader conveyor lines
- Filtering duplicate reads
- Single-point data transfer to PLC and host systems
Not the right fit for
- Not suited to standalone barcode reading; it has no image sensor and needs FS20, FS40 or FS70 follower readers.
- Not suited to follower models other than FS20, FS40 and FS70; these three are the compatible followers.
- Not suited to environments below 0 °C or above 45 °C.
