The new 3166 Bluetooth® Rugged RAIN® RFID UHF Reader boasts TSL’s latest hardware innovations and performance improvements, in a more efficient reader with a longer battery life.
Using the latest generation of Impinj silicon, read rates have been boosted up to 1200 tags per second. Multiple tag operations per tag are possible during an inventory scan – read multiple areas of each tag, or write to or even lock the tag. On reader de-duplication for 1 million transponders prevents overwhelming the connected host with information. Support has been added for passive sensor transponders (temperature, strain, humidity, acceleration) from HID and others – TSL can provide sample code demonstrating how to utilise these sensor transponders.
The increased efficiency of the new internal hardware gives longer operating times and more tags read in a single charge – up to a 34% increase in battery life compared to the previous generation 2166 Reader.
Designed to read and write to EPC Class 1 Gen 2 and EPC Class 1 Gen 2V2 tags, the 3166 can also be configured with class leading, high performance 2D data scanning to bring unparalleled data collection capabilities to any host it is connected to.
