Overview
The Thingmagic Mercury6e(M6e) embedded UHF RFID module is specifically designed for enterprise, commercial and industrial environments, meeting high-performance reading and writing requirements over a wide range. M6e offers outstanding ultra-high frequency anti-collision algorithms, the world's smallest four-channel RFID module, and comprehensive, extensive and complete software that can help and shorten the OEM time from development to market launch for RFID reader hardware integration companies. Ultra-high frequency RFID readers enhance the market and benefit value provided by solution providers to end customers.
The M6e module is designed in accordance with the performance standards of RFID readers, thus having a more compact hardware size and being suitable for use in mobile RFID devices.
The M6e supports 4 antenna ports with a maximum output power of 31.5dBm, eliminating the need for a power divider.
The module provides a low-cost design for each port, with excellent SDR (Software Designed Radio) architecture support: remote upgrades, new tag & RFID standards, security improvements, and optimization and improvement of other RFID system performance.
