Zebra RFD5500 RFID Sled RFD5500-GZ21US

Zebra RFD5500 RFID Sled RFD5500-GZ21US

Zebra RFD5500 (Code: RFD5500-GZ21US) is a portable RFID system (sled) designed to transform Zebra MC55, MC65 and MC67 mobile terminals into powerful and efficient UHF RFID devices. This system uses Radio Frequency Identification (UHF RFID) technology, allowing for rapid RFID tag capture and data collection in an efficient and accurate manner.

Its ergonomic pistol design provides comfortable and intuitive handling, and its RFID reading performance is ideal for inventory, logistics, retail and stock management applications. The Zebra RFD5500 uses the UHF frequency (902-928 MHz for the US), providing wide coverage and excellent reading performance even in dense environments.

This RFID sled is the ideal solution for organizations looking to add RFID capabilities to their existing terminals without investing in new devices. Compatibility with MC55, MC65 and MC67 models enables scalability and cost savings.
