The Multiprotocol Rail Reader provides unparalleled flexibility by offering a real-time clock, expanded tag read buffering, programmable RF output power, programmable frequency range from 860.00 to 930.00 MHz in 250-kHz programmable frequency steps, system integrity checking, and programmable group select. The MPRR employs advanced multiplexing techniques that improve reader performance at higher train speeds when compared to legacy products. In addition, this unique multiplexing mode provides the capability for one reader to manage up to four antennas, allowing a single reader to be used for two tracks. The MPRR is a replacement for TransCore’s AI1200 Reader/AR2200 RF Module systems.
