Motorola MC3090-Z Mobile Computers

The Motorola MC3090-Z represents another RFID first from Motorola - the first business-class handheld RFID reader designed specifically to extend the benefits of RFID beyond industrial spaces and into customer facing and business environments.

The MC3090-Z starts with the signature rugged design and high performance for which Motorola's industrial handheld RFID products are known, and adds the ergonomics required for all day comfort and ease of use. At just half the weight of its industrial counterparts, the MC3090-Z is the lightest UHF RFID rugged handheld reader on the market, offering a well-balanced design and a convenient gun-style grip for read intensive applications.

Add a groundbreaking new antenna design that drives RFID performance to new heights and the result is a highly versatile device that is at home in customer facing environments - from retail stores and healthcare facilities to the business office.

Until now, enterprises have been forced to choose between two types of antennas: linear polarization for a longer read range or circular polarization for wider coverage. The MC3090-Z antenna combines the advantages of these two technologies into a patented omnidirectional antenna that offers the best of both worlds - a superior read range and a superior coverage area. The orientation insensitive antenna delivers extraordinary reliability and eliminates the need to precisely align the reader with the tag, adding to user comfort and productivity. The result is the ability to accurately and rapidly capture RFID tags on even the most challenging items - from a pile of clothing in a retail store or a box of files in the office to data tapes in the data center.

The Motorola MC3090-Z RFID Reader offers the best of form and function with Motorola MAX Rugged and Motorola MAX Data Capture. While the MC3090-Z is designed for the carpeted space, Motorola MAX Rugged provides Motorola's flagship rugged specifications, ensuring dependable operation and a maximum lifecycle in demanding business environments. The reader passes one of the industry's most stringent impact tests, able to survive a 4 ft./1.2 m drop to concrete across the entire operating temperature range. In Motorola's unique endurance test, the MC3090-Z continued to perform reliably after 1,000 1.64 ft./0.5m drops in Motorola's tumble drum. And IP54 sealing enables the Motorola MC3090-Z to withstand dusty environments, spills and the routine wipedowns required in healthcare and other challenging environments.
