Long range RFID Reader

Hello!

Im a real beginner at this, and wanted to start of by doing a project where i build a fairly mobile cart/stand that have a RFID reader range of aprox 2m (6.5ft) that’s being controlled by an Arduino or similar and send data of the recognised tags within the range on a minute to minute basis.

First of, is this possible? :slight_smile:

and secondly, is there any RFID reader that can read in that range that is fairly small?

i’ve found some stuff on Alibaba that is huge and weighs in at 2-3kg (6lbs), it could work, but just wondering if i can find any smaller.
