FXR90 Ultra-Rugged Fixed Readers
Rock-solid reliability against punishing conditions
As more industries choose fixed RFID infrastructure for their asset tracking, you need a reader designed to operate anywhere, even in the harshest environments like those found in transportation/logistics, warehousing and manufacturing enterprises. Readers must withstand moisture and dirt while operating at a wide range of temperatures. Zebra’s FXR90 Ultra-Rugged Fixed RFID Readers are built for extreme conditions—both indoors and outdoors—and sealed to industrial-grade dual IP65 and IP67 ratings for reliable performance anywhere. Their versatile design includes an integrated RFID antenna built in for streamlined deployment, even across the largest facilities. And with built-in wireless technologies, such as Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth®, 5G, GPS and CBRS, the FXR90 provides unmatched connectivity, even outside the facility’s four walls, to meet the demands of today and the innovations of tomorrow.
Optimize Your Asset Management
Ultra-Rugged Design
Zebra’s FXR90 Ultra-Rugged RFID Readers are engineered to withstand exposure to weather extremes and daily wash-downs in transportation/logistics, warehousing and manufacturing environments. These ultra-rugged readers are dust-, spray- and waterproof, with an extended operating temperature range that allows workers to track critical items even where dirt and moisture infiltration or extreme temperatures are common.
Industry-Leading Performance
With a robust read rate of up to 1,300+ tags per second, FXR90 Readers enable greater visibility and real-time data wherever you need it most. And with rugged, sealed M12 connectors, as well as higher receiver sensitivity, you can expect reliable performance and increased accuracy in even the most challenging environments.
Simplified Deployment
FXR90 Readers have wireless technologies built in for easy configuration and management of a fleet of readers. Integrated Bluetooth 5.3 wireless capability connects to almost any Android™ or Windows device. Take advantage of the simple, cable-free deployment allowed by a proprietary built-in RFID antenna and gain the flexibility of a maximized read zone that 4- and 8-antenna port configurations enable.
Flexible Networking
With 5G, GPS and CBRS built in, you have more flexibility than ever to build the type of wireless network that works best for your operations, whether inside or outside the four walls of any facility. Choose to deploy Wi-Fi and 5G cellular for easy installation in previously inaccessible remote areas because you won’t need to drop an Ethernet cable. Use GPS data to understand where in the physical world items are being read to tie them back to specific customers or facilities. Connect your reader to your private network using CBRS for more widespread wireless coverage with low latency. The choice is yours.

IoT Connector
With IoT Connector, you can gather data from cloud-capable edge devices in a simple, consistent manner. Use the information and insights gained to make decisions in real time. Developed as a standard feature of our barcode scanners and RFID readers, IoT Connector is simple to configure—no coding required—and uses standard protocols within the Internet of Things.
Versatile Power Options
With multiple options to power the reader, you have the versatility of selecting the ones that match your needs and conditions. From an IP67 sealed AC/DC power supply for powering in wet and dusty environments both indoors and outdoors, to an IP67 sealed DC/DC power supply for powering from a vehicle, to a standard unsealed indoor AC/DC power supply, your range of operation is broader than ever. And with an option that can be wired directly to an electrical panel or vehicle battery, you can power the reader directly from the source. An additional option is PoE/PoE+ for even more simplistic power.
Available Mounting Options
The FXR90 Reader comes standard with a flush mount and a VESA mount option for universal mounting to meet your particular circumstance. The articulating VESA mount is compatible with various pole sizes and can be mounted to larger poles using hose clamps, so you have the flexibility of many options for configuration.
