ThingMagic Micro Embedded RFID Reader Module Developer Kit

Description

The ThingMagic Micro Embedded RFID Reader Module Developer Kit is designed for the high performance standards of RFID handheld, mobile, and stationary readers. This embedded UHF RFID Reader offers two antenna ports and is capable of transmitting up to +30 dBm for more demanding applications. The edge connections for signals, power, and RF enable direct soldering for the module onto a motherboard for use as a standard component. As an add-on option, the on-board connectors allow the module to be mated to a motherboard.

NOTE: This product is a reader module – NOT a finished RFID reader – and is meant for OEM and developers to embed into products or to be used in the creation of a new finished reader.
