RFID Multiplexers – Multi-Antenna Solutions for Expanded Coverage

RFID multiplexers enable single readers to control multiple antennas, dramatically expanding coverage areas and system capabilities while reducing infrastructure costs. These intelligent switching devices allow sequential antenna operation, creating larger read zones or multiple independent read points from a single RFID reader investment.

Multi-Antenna RFID Solutions

Metratec RFID multiplexers provide cost-effective solutions for expanding RFID system coverage and creating sophisticated multi-zone identification systems:

UHF RFID Multiplexers

Our UHF RFID multiplexers support multiple antenna connections for long-range applications, enabling comprehensive coverage of large areas, conveyor systems, and portal installations with single reader configurations.

  • 4, 8 and 16-port multiplexers – Connect up to 16 UHF antennas per port for expanded coverage areas
  • Intelligent switching – Advanced algorithms for optimized antenna sequencing and individual antenna power can be configured in the PulsarLR reader

HF RFID Multiplexers

Our HF RFID multiplexers enable precise control of multiple HF antennas for applications requiring distinct read zones, sequential processing, or expanded near-field coverage areas.

  • 4, 8 and 16-port multiplexers – Connect up to 16 HF antennas per port for expanded coverage areas

Multiplexer Features & Benefits

RFID multiplexers provide significant advantages for system design, cost optimization, and performance enhancement:

  • Cost reduction – Single reader supports multiple antennas, reducing hardware investment
  • Simplified infrastructure – Fewer network connections and power supplies required
  • Centralized control – Single point of configuration and management for multiple read zones
  • Fast switching – Millisecond antenna switching for high-throughput applications
  • Collision avoidance – Prevents RF interference between adjacent antennas
  • Scalable architecture – Easy system expansion through additional multiplexer units
