Overview
The Industry’s Smallest Embedded UHF RAIN® RFID Module
ThingMagic M7E-DEKA is the smallest form factor for a Mercury Series embedded UHF RAIN RFID module with extended RF power. With low power consumption, it is ideal for battery-operated, small form-factor portable use cases. ThingMagic M7E-DEKA’s wide RF output range (0 dBm to +27dBm) is important for the read/write requirements for RFID enabled Mobile tablets,printers and tag commissioning stations.
ThingMagic Petite is available in a surface mount package designed to increase the efficiency of surface mount technology manufacturing while reducing the overall cost of embedding RFID in volume applications. This package is also ideal for handheld devices, printers, consumable authentication, device configuration and access control.
ThingMagic M7E-DEKA is supported by ThingMagic Mercury API.
