ThingMagic NANO UHF RFID Reader/Writer Module
ThingMagic Nano delivers the smallest form factor for a Mercury Series embedded UHF RFID module with very low power consumption and is ideal for battery operated, low cost, small form-factor portable readers. ThingMagic Nano’s wide RF output range (0 dBm to +27 dBm) is important for the read/write requirements for RFID-enabled printers and tag commissioning stations. It features 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.

Overview
ThingMagic Nano is the smallest unit in the M6e series and is a low-power ultra-high frequency RFID identification module. It provides a wider radio frequency output range, which is useful for built-in power-driven RFID battery-operated RF-enabled printers. commissioning stations (product authentication) and RFID access control readers are very important.
The ThingMagic Nano UHF RFID reading and writing module is the smallest UHF RF embedded unit in the M6e series, aiming to provide a low-power, low-cost, and miniaturized portable RF reader solution.
The RF output range (0 dBm to +27 dBm) of ThingMagic Nano is very important for the read and write requirements of RD-based printers and tag debugging stations. Its surface packaging is designed to enhance the efficiency of SMT production while reducing the total cost of batch embedded RFID applications, including consumable certification and equipment configuration.
