"WJ's RFID heritage and strength are based on its strong RF legacy combined with market-leading RFID specific firmware and DSP capabilities. This unique combination enables us to provide very versatile RFID reader solutions to our OEM Reader partners and customers," said Chuck Lau, senior vice president and general manager for WJ Communications. "The SR2200 reader platform employs our unique software defined radio approach to provide a highly flexible and configurable reader solution. This modular platform solution was designed specifically to enable our OEM reader customers to have the ability to achieve 'tailored' solutions in a very short period of time. We believe this Portal or Fixed Reader Platform solution will be very attractive for a variety of markets and applications such as CPG, retailers, DOD, Pharma companies and others."

The WJ SR2200 high-performance RFID Reader Platform introduces new technology and design attributes that will greatly enhance its read performance. A unique MCA™ (Modular Component Architecture) has a reader engine core that is based on the latest high-performance DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and controller processors. WJ has applied its expertise to develop DxP™ (DSP extreme processing) that exploits the inherent power of the hardware to provide an unmatched level of performance and sensitivity in today's demanding environments. Other innovations that will enhance performance include an Autonomous Reader Mode.

WJ has architected the SR2200 platform so partners in the US or International markets can create unique product solutions based on different RF hardware requirements or interface needs. LSIS, part of the Korea's LG conglomerate, is the first high-profile partner to offer a reader based on the WJ SR2200 platform. And since the WJ SR2200 high-performance RFID Reader Platform is a software-based radio, this smart reader can be controlled and programmed via industry standard connectivity such as TCP/IP using the emerging EPC Host Interface Protocol.
