Overview:
The IoTRHA UHF RFID reader&writer module series includes single/4/8/16/32 channels. These products are designed based on the high-performance Impinj R2000 UHF RFID chip. Utilizing the dynamic Q algorithm from Impinj and our independently developed "Adaptive Dynamic Q Anti-Collision Algorithm V3.0," we have significantly improved multi-tag reading performance. The more tags, the more evident the improvement. The module offers an output power range of 0-33dBm, with a stable reading distance of over 20 meters using a 9dBi circularly polarized antenna and over 30 meters with a 12dBi circularly polarized antenna. The IoTRHA UHF RFID reader&writer module series can be applied to UHF handheld devices, integrated machines, access control channels, smart cabinets, high-quality consumable cabinets, tool cabinets, clothing channels, archive cabinets, and other applications requiring antenna identification and reading.
The IoTRHA RHA-500-RC08 UHF RFID Reader/Writer 8-channel module is designed based on the high-performance Impinj R2000 UHF RFID chip. It utilizes Impinj’s dynamic Q algorithm and constructed data models, incorporating our proprietary "Adaptive Dynamic Q Anti-Collision Algorithm V3.0". This algorithm is applied to all our self-developed UHF RFID reader/writer modules. Compared to similar market modules, our modules show significantly improved multi-tag reading performance, especially as the number of tags increases. The module features 8 RF SMA antenna connection ports, allowing simultaneous connection of 8 antennas for real-time inventory. The output power range of the module is 0~33dBm, with a tag reading distance of over 20 meters using a 9dBi circularly polarized antenna and over 30 meters using a 12dBi circularly polarized antenna.
The IoTRHA RHA-500-RC08 UHF RFID Reader/Writer module series can be applied in scenarios requiring antenna-based identification and reading, such as access control channels, smart cabinets, high-quality consumable cabinets, tool cabinets, clothing channels, and file cabinets.
