Vulcan RFID Mercury Bluetooth Rugged UHF RFID Handheld Reader

The Vulcan RFID Mercury Bluetooth Rugged UHF RFID Reader provides exceptional performance with a durable design. This reader is engineered to thrive in challenging conditions, boasting excellent resistance to water, dust, and mechanical impacts. The Mercury is designed to effortlessly read and write to EPC Class 1 Gen 2 (ISO18000-6C) UHF tags, while seamlessly connecting to various host devices via Bluetooth wireless technology, and features the powerful Impinj R2000 core. With a high-capacity battery, it ensures uninterrupted operation throughout your entire workday.

The Mercury Bluetooth Rugged UHF RFID Reader incorporates ASCII protocol that accelerates and simplifies application development. This sophisticated, parameterized ASCII protocol empowers developers with a robust set of commands that execute multiple actions directly within the reader. This approach streamlines the execution of multiple tag operations using straightforward pre-configured ASCII commands. Not only does this expedite the reader's integration into applications, but it also abstracts developers from some of the complexities of the underlying Native API, resulting in unmatched levels of performance. The Vulcan RFID Mercury Rugged Reader is compatible with TSL's RFID Explorer 2 free demo app, which will help you explore the capabilities of this reader.
