Page 13: Operating System Introduction
The RU224-51 has a built-in Linux operating system based on the Debian distribution. The main function of the operating system in the RU224-51 is to run the UHF RFID software locally without the need of a separate computer. This differentiates the RU224-51 from the traditional UHF RFID readers which requires a controller or computer to transfer the data it scans to the user.
