The AWID LR-3000 UHF Long Range Reader is a high-performance vehicle and asset identification solution designed for extended-range access control applications. Manufactured by AWID, this reader utilizes advanced UHF RFID technology (902–928 MHz) to deliver reliable, hands-free credential detection at distances of up to 20–30 feet, making it ideal for parking facilities, gated communities, logistics yards, and secured perimeters.

Engineered for demanding outdoor environments, the LR-3000 features a rugged, weather-resistant housing and high-gain antenna design to ensure consistent read performance in varying conditions. It supports AWID UHF windshield tags and long-range credentials, enabling seamless vehicle identification without requiring drivers to stop or present a card. With Wiegand output compatibility, the LR-3000 integrates easily into existing access control systems, providing a scalable upgrade for facilities transitioning to long-range RFID solutions.

This reader is widely used in vehicular access control, fleet management, and parking automation systems, where speed, convenience, and security are critical. Its ability to deliver fast read rates, long-range performance, and reliable operation makes it a trusted choice for high-traffic entry points and enterprise-level deployments.

AWID's LR-3000™ Long-Range Reader is an Ultra-High-Frequency (UHF) tag and card reader used in RFID applications like gate access for vehicles and physical access for people. Its electronics and antenna are integrated in a single compact enclosure. The LR-3000 is optimally designed for Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) and Access Control applications such as gate control in a parking facility. It also provides identification and access for people at doorways, wheelchairs at elevators, and gurneys in hospital entrances. The LR-3000 Reader assures security by use of AWID's proprietary encryption for communications between the reader and its UHF vehicle tags and hand-held cards. The LR-3000 reader has two LEDs – steady red to indicate DC power, and blinking green when a tag is presented. The LR-3000 reader is suitable for outdoor applications; it may be installed with exposure to the environment.
