Cykeo Long Range RFID Readers
Cykeo offers long range RFID readers with 4 dBi, 6 dBi, 9 dBi and 12 dBi antenna options for access control, vehicle identification and asset tracking.
SDK, API and demo software are provided to support fast integration with existing systems. For model selection or antenna matching, Cykeo’s technical team can offer basic configuration support.

Long Range RFID Reader
Long range RFID readers are designed to read RFID tags from a greater distance than standard readers. In practical use, the reading range depends on antenna gain, tag type, installation height and surrounding environment.
These devices work by transmitting radio signals and receiving responses from RFID tags that carry unique identification data. Compared with short-range scanning, long range reading reduces manual operation and allows identification to happen while objects or vehicles are moving. For many users, this improves working efficiency and reduces handling errors.

Common Application Areas
Supply Chain and Warehousing
In warehouses and logistics centers, Cykeo long range RFID readers are used to identify pallets, containers and goods at entry or exit points. Operators can confirm movement records without stopping forklifts or opening packaging.
Asset Management
Factories, hospitals and construction sites apply long range RFID readers to track tools, machines and mobile equipment. Once assets are tagged, their presence can be checked automatically, which helps reduce loss and improves usage records.
Access Control Systems
Long range RFID readers are often installed at gates, parking entrances and controlled areas. Staff cards, badges or vehicle tags can be read from a distance, allowing access without manual verification.
Vehicle Identification and Toll Systems
Parking facilities and toll stations use long range RFID readers to identify vehicles as they approach. This supports faster traffic flow and reduces waiting time at checkpoints.
Livestock Identification
In agricultural settings, RFID tags attached to animals can be read without close contact. Long range readers make routine checks easier, especially when animals are moving in groups.
Retail Inventory Control
Retail warehouses use long range RFID readers to speed up inventory checks. Compared with barcode scanning, multiple tagged items can be identified in a shorter time.
Event and Venue Management
For exhibitions or large events, RFID wristbands or badges can be read at entrances using long range readers. This helps manage access and crowd flow more efficiently.
Waste Collection Systems
Waste bins fitted with RFID tags can be identified during collection. Long range readers help record service data and support route optimization.
Libraries and Archives
Libraries apply RFID readers to automate book handling. Long range reading reduces manual scanning and improves circulation efficiency.
Healthcare Facilities
Hospitals use long range RFID readers to monitor equipment, track assets and manage patient identification. This supports daily operations and reduces administrative workload.
