Janam Introduces First Truly Portable Automatic Equipment Identification RFID Tag Reader

Janam Technologies LLC, a leading provider of rugged mobile computers that scan barcodes and communicate wirelessly recently announced the launch of its XM2-RFID for Rail mobile computer. A fully rugged, highly capable, handheld RFID reader, the XM2-RFID for Rail offers best-in-class read range and battery life and is the first fully integrated handheld computer to deliver the ability to read Automatic Equipment Identification (AEI) RFID tags to the palm of the hand.

The XM2-RFID for Rail provides the power and performance required by mobile workers in freight and rail operations. With unmatched versatility and a lightweight ergonomic form factor, it is specially-designed to read the AEI RFID tags required on all railcars in North America and widely used globally, allowing rail and intermodal companies to track and monitor equipment effectively. Lighter and more affordable than competitive solutions, the 13-ounce XM2-RFID for Rail mobile computer reads AEI tags from at least one meter (3.3 feet) away, and after five hours of continuous use and more than 40,000 tag reads, a customer’s unit recently still had 20% capacity remaining in its battery.
