ThingMagic M7E-MEGA UHF RFID Reader/Writer Module
The ThingMagic M7E-MEGA UHF RFID reader/writer module is one of the smallest dual-port, high-performance embedded UHF RAIN RFID modules available. It offers the size, efficiency, power consumption, and flexibility required to embed UHF RFID into size-critical applications. Its compact size and powerful performance significantly improve efficiency, reduce development costs, and shorten time-to-market.
The ThingMagic M7E-MEGA reads up to 600* RFID tags per second with low power consumption. Its wide RF output level range (-10dBm to +30dBm (1W)) makes it suitable for short-range RFID printers or long-range RFID readers. Its antenna port makes it easy to embed into demanding applications. It features a UART control/data interface. The two RF antennas can be connected via edge pads or U.FL connectors.
