Zebra ST series · Mid range
ST5500
Transition RFID reader with reader and antenna in one housing that detects not just tagged items but their direction of movement in and out of an area.
Zebra's FX7500 fixed reader and a pre-configured ST5500 antenna share a single enclosure, so there is only one piece of hardware to install. It can be hung from the ceiling or mounted on a wall. It is designed to work in warehouses and hallways with interference sources such as metal and fluorescent lighting.
