The XR450 fixed RFID reader features both bi- and mono-static antenna ports for simplified deployment. The mono-static reader is said to be more durable and have greater data capture capabilities. Other changes for the XR series include new management software and enhanced security features like SSH and SSL support to protect information as it moves across external network interfaces. Also, custom applications can be built and hosted on the device.
