OVERVIEW
The Anterus RFID Reader increases the capabilities of an integrated
A/V or control system. Use the ANT-RDR with the NetLinx controller
to trigger system events or notify administrators by simply walking
into or out of a room with an Anterus RFID asset tag or ID badge.
COMMON APPLICATION
The Anterus Reader quickly locates assets, equipment, or people
connected with Anterus tags or badges. It is ideal for a variety of
locations including: meeting rooms, hospitals, hotels, classrooms,
network operation centers, or retail stores, just to name a few.
