CAEN RFID unveils Quark: the smallest Compact OEM UHF Reader

Viareggio (LU), September, 28th 2009    

CAEN RFID, leading European supplier of UHF RFID products, announces today the availability of a new product of the easy2read© family: the QUARK reader. Model R1230C (aka QUARK) is an UHF multiregional ultra compact reader for low-power, high performances UHF RFID applications.

With programmable output power in 13 steps from 10dBm to 23dBm (10 to 200 mW), the reader can detect tags at more than 2m of distance (depending on antenna and tag dimensions). Due to its low power consumption, the module is specifically designed to be easily integrated in battery powered devices as well as powered directly by a standard USB port.
The radio frequency core of the module permits to achieve fastreading and to be used in dense reader and dense tag environments for topclass rated performances.

The compactness of the device and the board-to-board connector allow to embed the R1230C inside the new small form factor industrial handhelds, smartphone accessories, small USB dongles and other compact form factor devices.

“The QUARK reader” says Giovanni Grieco, Sales and Marketing Director of CAEN RFID “is today the smallest UHF module of our well known and appreciated OEM offering. We believe this unit, thanks to its size and low power consumption, will soon become very popular in all the latest handheld devices and mobile applications”.

The R1230C complies with and can operate in both European and US regulatory environments and due to its multiregional capabilities, it’s ideal for integration in devices requiring compliance to different geographical regions. The QUARK module will be available in production in Q1, 2010, while samples for test will be available in a few weeks.
