System Description
The MPRR is a reader that supports the low-cost, high-performance SeGo radio fre-
quency identification (RFID) technology. The MPRR also supports TransCore ATA/
ISO tag types.

The MPRR is a high-power unit that can read both half- and full-frame tags. The
reader output power can be adjusted using reader commands.

Reader
The MPRR consists of an input/output (I/O) module, a power supply, a reader logic
board (also called a tag decoder), and a radio frequency (RF) transmitter/receiver
(called the RF module) in a compact enclosure. These MPRR components are con-
tained in a highly reliable, compact, and easy-to-install package.

How It Works
The MPRR directs the RF module to generate an RF signal, which is broadcast
through the external antenna mounted railside. Entering the MPRR’s reading range, a
TransCore RFID tag installed on a railcar or other asset to be tracked adds its pro-
