'High-end UHF Long Range Reader'

The uPASS Target from Nedap is a long-range reader based on passive UHF RFID technology that offers long-range identification at up to 10 metres.

PRODUCT FEATURES & BENEFITS

The Nedap uPASS Target is a robust solution for long-range identification of vehicles, people and rolling stock. It is ideal both for access control to gated sites and for close monitoring of traffic flow activities at industrial sites and logistic depots.

Its Plug-and-Play features enable it to be installed in just a few simple steps. Its variety of industry-standard communication interfaces supports seamless integration into any existing or new third party systems for access control, logistic operations, security and parking.

An optional external antenna is available, which can be used to expand the reading scope of the reader in a cost-efficient way.

The Nedap uPASS Target complies with the standards for reading EPC Gen 2 passive UHF tags.

Benefits

  • Reads at up to 10 metres
  • Industrial reader design
  • Operates with passive UHF tags (EPC GEN 2)
  • Circular polarized antenna (freedom of tag orientation)
  • Easy integration and installation
  • On-site adjustable read range

Industrial-Grade Long-Range Reader for Logistics and High-Speed Transportation

The uPASS Target is an industrial-strength UHF reader built for demanding environments where vehicles, rolling stock, and heavy equipment require reliable identification. Rail yards, bus depots, logistics centres, and automated truck operations depend on its robust aluminium construction and 10-metre read range to monitor traffic flow and control site access.

Unlike lighter-duty readers, the uPASS Target features PoE+ support for simplified installation, an optional external antenna for bi-directional lane coverage, and an adjustable read range to prevent cross-reads in complex multi-lane configurations. Its plug-and-play setup with industry-standard interfaces enables rapid deployment into existing traffic management and access control systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What applications is the uPASS Target designed for? Frequently Asked Questions

High-speed transportation, rail yards, bus depots, car park facilities, internal logistics operations, industrial sites, and automated truck activities requiring reliable long-range identification.

Does the uPASS Target support Power over Ethernet? Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, it is PoE+ PSE IEEE 802.3at compliant, allowing both power and data over a single Ethernet cable for simplified installation.

What is the purpose of the optional external antenna? Frequently Asked Questions

The external antenna expands the reading scope cost-effectively and enables bi-directional detection for monitoring both vehicle entry and exit lanes from a single reader.

What communication interfaces are available? Frequently Asked Questions

RS422/RS485, Ethernet 10/100Mbps, USB service interface, plus Wiegand and Magstripe data outputs for access control integration.

How does the uPASS Target differ from the uPASS Go? Frequently Asked Questions

The uPASS Target features a heavier-duty aluminium construction (3.5kg vs 1kg), PoE+ support, external antenna option, and is designed for industrial environments. The uPASS Go is a lighter, more compact solution optimised for standard car park installations.
