Strengths
- Ethernet, USB, Serial, Wi-Fi/BT (dongle), GPIO gives network teams a familiar integration surface instead of local-only collection.
- PoE/PoE+, +24V DC can reduce separate power drops when switch PoE budget is available.
- The $1500 hardware baseline is easier to budget than premium fixed-reader configurations.
- Throughput should be measured with real tags and antennas.
