What Is a UHF RFID Bluetooth Reader?
A UHF RFID Bluetooth reader is a portable reader that does not carry its own operating system and instead works with a phone or tablet app. The device reads tags and sends them to the app over Bluetooth; display, processing and internet connectivity are provided by the smart device. This architecture both lowers hardware costs and ensures compatibility with different app platforms.
The I-Hand R2 uses the CM2000-1 UHF module based on the Impinj Indy R2000. It offers 1 W (30 dBm) power, adjustable from +5 to +30 dBm, with an optional 2 W (33 dBm); with its linearly polarised 4 dBi antenna it reads at up to 15 metres. The system complies with the RAIN RFID standard. Its Cortex-M3 processor and 1.77-inch display also show the read status directly on the device.
Offering SDKs for Android and iOS, it lets you develop your own app in Java or Objective-C. This flexibility is an advantage for businesses that want to add RFID reading to existing mobile apps.
