What’s in the system?

The RFM5209 is a data hub designed to aggregate data from 
selected Axzon RF reader systems to access battery-free Smart 
Passive Sensing™ devices.  The RFM5209 includes the Java-based 
ReaderService™ sensor management software with optimized sen-

sor reading algorithms.  The RFM5209 is preconfigured as a Wi-Fi 

hot spot to allow access to graphical data plots to monitor tem-
perature.

How is it used?

The RFM5209 system is connected to one or more separate RF 
reader(s) over the network.  The RF reader(s) will send data to 
the RFM5209 data hub for storage in the internal database.  This 
sensor data is also available on your own smart phone or tablet 
device when connected to the data hub’s Wi-Fi.

RF Readers and Sensors sold separately

The RFM5209 system does not include the RF reader or sensors.  
The RFM5108 or the RFM5109 RF readers are purchased separately.   

Part numbers

The RFM5209-B is a system-level product that includes the 
RFM5144-B ReaderService™ interface software that manages read-
er and sensor interactions, while also provides advanced sensor 
data processing algorithms.
