Visonic Technologies (VT), a global leader in unified RFID/RTLS safety and security solutions, announces the immediate availability of the new Elpas2 RF Ethernet Reader.
This 433MHz, RFID/RTLS reader is designed to detect and relay 'Location' and 'State' data from Elpas Active RFID Asset, Personnel or Infant Protection Tags to host applications over wired or wireless Ethernet/Wi-Fi networks to enable the real-time monitoring and tracking of assets or personnel.
The Elpas2 RF Ethernet Reader supports large tag populations in indoor office environments. On-board I/O ports enable the monitoring of one analogue alarm input and control of two open-collector digital switched outputs. The reader also supports XML messaging for integration with 3rd party applications plus full-duplex RS-485 data transmission.

IT backbones" said Michael Wasserstein, CEO of Visonic Technologies. "Additionally, this new reader is the only commercially available RFID/RTLS Ethernet reader that is flush mountable into drop/suspended ceilings or that can easily be suspended from overhead wiring grids; making it ideal for healthcare, senior living or office environments.
The Elpas2 RF Ethernet Reader is intended to complement and add to VT's portfolio of LonWork compatible network infrastructure devices; and will be marketed through VT's worldwide network of qualified partners.
