Frequently asked questions

No. You can start with as few antennas as you need and add more over time. The reader works perfectly with any number of connected antennas, from 1 to 16.

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.
