Zebra WhereLAN RFID Reader Model Overview
WhereLAN III is the locating and messaging hub of Zebra’s Real Time Locating Systems (RTLS) offering based on the ISO/IEC 24730-2 standard. This state-of-the art sensor receives low power signals emitted by Zebra’s active RFID tags, known as WhereTags, up to a distance of 1,750 m. Employing advanced signal processing techniques, WhereLAN III determines the time-of-arrival of a WhereTag signal to sub-nanosecond resolution, resulting in up to one meter location accuracy. This means you can gain visibility of your tagged assets and tightly couple their real-time location into your business operations. WhereLAN III can also be used to process event messages from WhereCall button tags. These tags are used in Industrial Manufacturing to convey parts replenishment requests or task completion events. Due to the Six-Sigma reliability of the WhereTag signal, you can rest assured that the WhereCall event will be detected. WhereLAN III delivers the WhereTag and WhereCall data to Zebra’s Visibility Server Software (VSS) stack, which computes the location of tagged assets and delivers actionable and timely visibility information. VSS also provides tools for integrating RTLS data with customer and third party applications. VSS and a network of WhereLAN IIIs provide accurate and timely asset visibility across your enterprise.
Key Features:
- ISO 24730-2 sensor capable of one meter Location Accuracy
- Wireless Time Synchronization suitable for Heavy-Industrial Environments
- Low power consumption, 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet compliant, with Wi-Fi backhaul connectivity
- All-weather enclosure designed for indoor/outdoor operation
WhereLAN III features an IP 55 cast-aluminum enclosure, which allows the product to be deployed in indoor and outdoor environments, such as warehouses, heavy-industrial manufacturing plants, vehicle and trailer yards, and Maritime shipyards. The product features novel signal processing techniques that provide full locate without the need for dedicated time synchronization wiring. WhereLAN III can automatically configure and dynamically adjust to changing Radio Frequency environments while maintaining wireless time synchronization. Its configuration does not require complex RF spectrum surveys nor periodic calibration. These advanced features simplify the design and installation of the infrastructure, allowing you to focus on running your business instead of running an RTLS network.
WhereLAN III supports IEEE 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet (PoE). It may be ordered with integral Wi-Fi client capability supporting the transport of the received WhereTag and standard management data across any industry standard 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi network. The product consumes just 12 Watts, enabling a small and economical solar-powered option for remote deployments.
When robust and accurate asset visibility is vital to your business, WhereLAN III is your product of choice and Zebra your global partner.
