Spec Sheet

CS203ETHER is an All Weather and MIL-STD-810 Ruggedized Ethernet connected UHF EPC
C1G2 Integrated RFID reader. The reader has long read range and high read rate. The CS203
integrated reader is extremely versatile and can be used in all environments, indoor or
outdoor, and for numerous applications including schools, warehouse dock doors, forklift
mounting, parking lot gates, on-board waste disposal vehicles, highway toll stations, livestock
farm, slaughter house, container port, zoos and etc. CS203ETHER is uniquely offered with either
left hand or right hand circular polarization, thus allowing it to be deployed in the most
extreme dense reader environment – face to face close range deployment. With the same API
as CS101, CS468 and CS469 - CSL Unified API, the application development time and cost are
reduced, resulting in a faster time to market.
