The AK-ACR-CID12 is Akuvox’s UHF desktop reader. It reads EPC Gen2 tags at short range so a building manager can capture each tag before handing it to a resident or staff member.
This SKU is the desktop reader only.
You receive the ACR-CID12 reader. UHF tags, the ACR-CRP12 long-range reader and the gate or door controller are sold separately.

Short-range at the desk, long-range at the gate.
The desktop reader only reads tags within about 10 cm, so the right tag is captured every time. The same tag is then read from up to 15 m by the ACR-CRP12 at the entry.
