LF + UHF in one handheld
Reads supported LF and UHF animal-identification tags without requiring separate handheld readers.
Two frequencies. One reader.
On-device format conversion
Converts supported tag encodings on the reader and presents the animal identification number required by the receiving system.
Bluetooth connectivity
Connects to compatible farm-management, weighing and proprietary software systems.
Designed for practical livestock use
A handheld format intended for environments where different animal-identification technologies may be encountered.
LF and UHF in One Handheld Reader
LF
134.2 kHz
LF Animal Identification
The AT-01003 supports LF animal-identification technologies to ISO 11784/11785, including:
- FDX-B
- FDX-A
- HDX
Supported tag encodings are converted and presented in the required animal-identification format.
UHF
860–960 MHz
UHF Animal Identification
The reader supports UHF animal-tag formats including:
- USDA interim format
- ISO 6881
- Legacy Scottish formats
Designed for a Changing GB Cattle-Identification Market
The AT-01003 is positioned for the developing split between LF cattle identification in England and Wales and UHF cattle identification in Scotland.
An LF-only reader cannot read a UHF tag, and a UHF-only reader cannot read an LF tag. The AT-01003 was developed to bridge that practical gap by supporting both technologies in one handheld reader.
This provides a practical tool for keepers, markets, hauliers, service providers and others who may encounter cattle carrying different electronic identification technologies.
