Frequently asked questions
The MUX16 expands the FR22 from 4 native antenna ports to 16. This allows you to cover more zones from a single reader. You can start with the base FR22 and add the MUX16 later when you need more coverage.
Continuous scanning mode keeps all connected antennas actively reading tags at all times. This ensures real-time visibility of tagged items as they move through your facility, without manual triggers.
Yes. You can connect different antenna models to the same FR22 16-Port reader. This allows you to optimize each zone. For example, using high-gain antennas at dock doors and compact antennas on shelves.
Each antenna port can be assigned to a specific zone in the Beam app. You can monitor, configure and report on each zone independently while managing everything from a single reader and dashboard.
The FR22 16-Port is powered via PoE 802.3at (PoE+), delivering both data and power through a single Ethernet cable. You need a PoE+-capable switch or injector. This keeps the installation clean with minimal cabling.
