1. An information carrier reader assembly comprising:
a first antenna; and
a second antenna electrically connected to the first antenna,
wherein the first antenna is attached to a first area of a medicament delivery device that comprises an information carrier comprising a fourth antenna,
wherein the first antenna is positioned so as to enable transmission between the fourth and the first antenna,
wherein the information carrier reader assembly further comprises an information reader provided with a third antenna and being operably arranged to a second area of the medicament delivery device,
wherein the second antenna is attached to the second area of the medicament delivery device to enable a transmission between the second antenna and the third antenna,
wherein the first antenna is positioned adjacent a proximal end of the medicament delivery device,
wherein the second antenna positioned adjacent a distal end of the medicament delivery device,
wherein the first antenna, second antenna, third antenna, and fourth antenna are spaced a longitudinal distance along a length of the medicament delivery device apart from one another between the proximal end and the distal end of the medicament delivery device,
wherein the first antenna, second antenna, third antenna, and fourth antenna are enclosed inside the medicament delivery device, and
wherein the information carrier reader assembly is arranged in a separate unit releasably attachable to the medicament delivery device, wherein the third antenna of the information reader is configured to read the second antenna when the separate unit is connected to the medicament delivery device.
