ThingMagic Nano Embedded RFID Reader Module Developer Kit

Description

The ThingMagic Nano Embedded RFID Reader Module Developer Kit gives you the capability of utilizing the wide RF output range (0 dBm to +27 dBm) of the Nano, which is important for meeting the read/write requirements for RFID-enabled printers and tag commissioning stations. It includes a surface mount package designed for the efficiency of SMT manufacturing, driving down the total cost for embedding RFID in volume applications, including handheld devices, consumables authentication, device configuration and access control. This developer kit is the perfect way to make the most of your M6e-Nano reader module.

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.
