Description

The Zebra FX7500 RFID Reader comes in a sleek, attractive form factor with a low profile and compact footprint, at home in nearly any business environment. It also looks good on the balance sheet, with an impressive array of integrated features and functionality that pack value for your business class applications.

EASY TO DEPLOY, SIMPLE TO MANAGE

Installation is simple. Hang the supplied bracket, then snap the reader in place. No outlet nearby? No problem. Integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) lets you place the FX7500 where it is needed without installing extra outlets – ideal for large open areas. Once plugged into the network, devices are auto-detected.

SMART LOOKS, SMART INVESTMENT

The FX7500 comes in a sleek, attractive form factor with a low profile and compact footprint, at home in nearly any business environment. But it also looks good on the balance sheet, with an impressive array of integrated features and functionality that pack value for your business class applications. 

BETTER PERFORMANCE. BETTER VALUE.

We created a new RFID radio technology, purposely designed from the ground up for faster, more accurate read rates, and more consistent performance even in challenging environments.

Integrated Power Over Ethernet (POE), Optically Isolated GPIO, USB Client* and Host Ports with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Connectivity

All the tools you need for fast, easy deployment and simplified on-going management of your RFID applications are built right into the FX7500 architecture.

2-Port and 4-Port Reader Configurations

More configuration options mean more flexibility to optimize your read field. Deploy precisely the number of read points you need for proper coverage, no more, no less, and reduce your TCO.

Plenum Area Rated

The FX7500 is approved and suitable for environmental air handling space installation, so it can operate effectively within walls and ceilings.

Support for Worldwide Standards

Supports FCC and ETSI EN 302 208 in either 4-port or 2-port mono-static antenna configurations, EPC standards-based defined reader management, and auto-discovery flexible firmware upgrade features. Seamlessly integrates with existing IT environments; enables remote and centralized management; simplifies and reduces the cost of set-up, deployment, testing and management.

Next Generation Reader Platform, Including Dense Reader Mode Support

Best-in-class read rates deliver superior read performance.

Linux: 512 MB Flash/256 MB RAM

Integration of a wide range of third-party applications for fast application deployment; supports upgrading to meet future requirements; maximizes product lifespan; provides outstanding security and investment protection.

EASY TO DEPLOY, MANAGE AND SCALE

MotionWorks Enterprise RFID Reader Management

With RFID Reader Management, you can easily deploy and manage a network of Zebra passive RFID readers. Fully compatible with our current portfolio of devices in this category, RFID Reader Management allows you to configure and monitor the status of every cloud-ready Zebra RFID reader in your system from one consolidated application, without requiring multiple tools to manage different types of readers.

IoT Connector

With IoT Connector, you can gather data from cloud-capable edge devices in a simple, consistent manner. Use the information and insights gained to make decisions in real time. Developed as a standard feature of our barcode scanners and RFID readers, IoT Connector is simple to configure—no coding required—and uses standard protocols within the Internet of Things.
