Most passive RFID readers are designed to be connected to a Local or Wide Area Network, so data can be passed through the network to back-end systems. To answer your specific question about being able to control the reader via a Web site, I reached out to the experts at Impinj, a manufacturer of passive ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) interrogators and reader chips. Here is their response:
“RFID readers can be accessed remotely if the local network allows for remote access. If security settings don’t allow this, you’d need to use a reader that supports cellular connectivity. The only fixed readers we’re aware of that offer [cellular] functionality are the Impinj Speedway Revolution reader and the CAEN R4300P Ion, which offers an optional modem.”
