Maximum reads per second?

For one of our experiments, we have been trying to maximize the number of reads per second from a single RFID tag using an Impinj Speedway reader. At the moment, the best we are able to do is about 1 read per second (if there are more tags in range, we’ll get more reports per second). Has anyone in the community managed to get a higher sampling rate (=higher read rates) and could share their ADD_ROSPEC message?  Our ADD_ROSPEC is posted below .

SQL Database Integration in Fosstrak LLRP Commander/ALE Middleware

In a previous blog post, I already mentioned a new feature of Fosstrak that allows users to log tag reads reported in LLRP RO_ACCESS_REPORTS to a SQL DB. Here are a few screenshots that illustrate this functionality.

LTKJava – the (hidden) Fosstrak module

I was checking the other day the download numbers of LTKJava, the Java implementation of a Codec for the LLRP protocol which the Fosstrak team contributed to the LLRP toolkit project. The Java implementation has been downloaded more than 600 times since we released the latest version at the end of July. The usage of LTKJava by major reader vendors and reader middleware such as Intermec and OatSystems underlines the contribution open source software can make to the field of RFID and the adoption of standardized protocols.

At Fosstrak, we are using LTKJava in our Fosstrak LLRP Commander, a tool to control and manage RFID readers via LLRP.
