The M7e-PICO Developer Kit offers as complete solution to design and test new RFID functionality in OEM solutions. This kit provides hardware for ultra high-frequency (UHF) applications such as asset tracking, inventory management, patient safety, and product authentication. The included reader module offers an antenna port and supports the ability to transmit up to +24 dBm for demanding applications. The edge connections for signals, power, and RF allow the module to be soldered directly to a motherboard as a standard component. The on-board connector allows the module to be mated to a motherboard as an add-on option. The M7e-PICO platform uses the same Mercury API as other JADAK ThingMagic products, allowing for easy software integration and customization based on form-fit-function SKUs. This developer kit is the perfect way to make the most of your M7e-PICO reader module.
Note: This product is a reader module – NOT a finished RFID reader – and is meant for OEM and developers to embed into products or to be used in the creation of a new finished reader. If you are interested in an existing finished reader product, check out our line of finished ThingMagic readers.

The ThingMagic M7e-PICO Developer Kit enables you to build a reader with the perfect balance between convenient size, flexibility of use, and raw RF power. The M7e-PICO module has a wide RF output range of 24 dBm, an Impinj E310 RAIN RFID reader chip, a high read rate of 300 tags per second, and a tag read range of 3 meters; meanwhile, the developer kit has these features plus it gives you everything you need to connect to a PC and start reading tags. The Mercury API is loaded on your host processor so you can write software to control the module in the DevKit chassis.
