The Mojix STAR from Mojix Inc. offers the ability to read RFID tags, determine location, and secure and authenticate passive tag data in one multifaceted, multiple purpose system. Functioning as a single network element at the enterprise edge, a Mojix STAR system consists of one or more Mojix STAR receivers each managing up to 512 low-cost Mojix eNode transmitters, which are oriented to define the system's three dimensional coverage area. The transmitters provide energy to all passive RFID tags within their specified interrogation spaces, while the centralized, high-sensitivity receiver processes the resulting tag signals from across the system's coverage area, including non-line-of-sight tag signals. From a system management standpoint, the Mojix STAR receiver provides a single point of control for all its satellite Mojix eNodes, and a single point of integration with enterprise systems. It can verify 100% of tags in a pallet (or other 3D area) of RF-challenged materials using Mojix eGroup technology. www.mojix.com
