ThingMagic M7E-TERA UHF Four-Channel RFID Module
ThingMagic M7E-TERA is a 4-port module that meets or exceeds the performance requirements of the most demanding fixed position multi-antenna reader applications. The M7ETERA’s high read rate and RF power, coupled with its form factor and time-to-market advantages, make it the ideal solution for Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) applications.
Transmitting up to +31.5 dBm and reading more than 800* tags/second, ThingMagic’s M7E-TERA performance is outstanding in challenging applications.
The four RF connections to antennas can be made via edge pads or U.FL connectors.
ThingMagic M7E-TERA is supported by ThingMagic Mercury API.
