5 eNode Installation
The Mojix eNodes (exciter Nodes) are the building blocks of the Mojix STAR system – defining
multiple RFID coverage areas and interrogation zones configured to support each unique
business process. Mojix provides a full range of eNode models, from wired to wireless, that are
certified in multiple regions and across multiple frequency bands.
The Mojix eNodes are reliable, autonomously operated, simple RF transmitters that are
designed to excite all types of EPC UHF Gen 2 RFID tags within their designated RFID
coverage areas. The eNode connects to four RFID antennas that are controlled by the STAR to
energize RFID tags. The network of eNodes is connected through a distributed architecture to a
STAR unit via an eMux using coaxial cable. Each eNode can service up to either four connected
antennas or four eXpander modules with up to sixteen antennas using low-loss cables up to a
distance of 50 feet.
