The OMRON V740 RFID Reader/Writer (herein
after denoted as Reader) uses RFID (radio
frequency identification) technology to read data
stored on RFID tags. The Reader operates
analogous to an SQL (structured query language)
server, providing tag data in response to requests
from another application. A separate software
application may be used to direct its operation and
provide a user interface.
The Reader supports UHF (ultra high frequency)
antennas, which are available separately. The
Reader supports multiple configurations of UHF
antenna ports and transfers data to a remote
computer over a network connection.
