Overview

The Lepton9x4-USB (Model R9104CU), an embedded reader of the easy2read© product line, is an ultra compact reader for low power, high performance RAIN RFID applications.

With programmable output power from 10 dBm to 30 dBm, the reader can detect tags at more than 5 m of distance (depending on antenna and tag dimensions).

The radio frequency core of the module is based on the Impinj E910 IC that permits to achieve fast reading speed and to be used in dense reader and dense tag environments for top-class rated performances.

Due to its high sensitivity, the module is well suited to design industry-leading, dense tag environment RAIN RFID readers.

The Lepton9x4-USB module is the ideal RFID engine for high-performance fixed readers, the USB interface make it simple to connect to most SBCs avaialble on the market.

The Lepton9x4-USB complies with and can operate in both European and US regulatory environments and, thanks to its multiregional capabilities, it’s ideal for integration in devices requiring compliance to different geographical regions.

The Lepton9x4-USB is designed on the basis of the Lepton9 with the aim to facilitate the integration for those who prefer to use connectors instead of automatic manufacturing required by the SMD form factor..
