Like the CS203, the CS208 is an all weather ruggedized Ethernet-connected UHF EPC Class 1 Gen 2 integrated RFID reader with long read range and high read rate. This integrated reader is extremely versatile and can be used in all environments, indoor or outdoor. It is uniquely offered with either left hand or right hand circular polarization, thus allowing it to be deployed face to face in the most extreme dense reader environment.

The CS208 adds multiple connectivity options, including GSM GPRS/3G, SMS, Ethernet, USB, and RS-232.
