Technical Specifications

Product Advantages

• Proprietary algorithm for high identification rate: The built-in DSP algorithm ensures fast and accurate tag reading even in environments with multiple tags present, reducing read failures during high-throughput operations.
• Built-in antenna with reliable read-write distance: The integrated circular polarization antenna delivers a consistent read range of 180 mm and write range of 80 mm, suitable for desktop encoding stations and access control terminals.
• Low power dissipation for continuous use: Operating at only 90 mA from a standard 5V USB supply, the reader can remain powered for extended shifts without heat buildup or performance degradation.
• Software-adjustable output power: Integrators can fine-tune the output power from 0 to 13 dBm to match specific tag types, read range requirements, or regulatory constraints across different deployment regions.
• Multiple operating modes: Fixed frequency mode provides stability for controlled environments, while FHSS mode ensures compliance with regional spectrum regulations and reduces interference in dense reader installations.
• Complete development kit provided: DLL, SDK, demo software, and source code for both PC and Pocket PC platforms reduce integration time for system integrators and software development teams.

Industrial Applications

• Logistics and supply chain tracking: Warehouse operators use the desktop reader at receiving and shipping stations to encode and verify UHF tags on pallets and cartons, improving inventory accuracy and reducing manual data entry errors.
• Access control and attendance systems: Facility managers deploy the reader at entry points for contactless identity verification using UHF or Mifare credentials, enabling fast throughput for staff and visitors.
• Anti-counterfeit verification: Brand protection teams integrate the reader into inspection stations to authenticate products carrying encrypted UHF tags, helping prevent counterfeit goods from entering the supply chain.
• Industrial production process control: Manufacturers embed the reader into production lines to write and verify tags on work-in-progress items, ensuring traceability from raw material to finished goods.
• Asset management: IT and facilities teams use the reader to audit tagged equipment, tools, and IT assets, reducing loss and improving utilization tracking across multiple sites.
• Retail inventory management: Retail operations deploy the reader at back-of-house stations for rapid bulk tag reading during stock intake and cycle counting.
