Description

ThingMagic M7e-TERA UHF RAIN RFID Reader Module Developer Kit by JADAK

The M7e-TERA 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 ThingMagic M7e-TERA is a 4-port module that meets or exceeds the performance requirements of the most demanding fixed position multi-antenna reader applications and supports the ability to transmit up to +31.5 dBm.  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-TERA 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-TERA 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.
