Tiny Embedded UHF RAIN
®
RFID Module
ThingMagic Nano is the smallest form factor for a Mercury
Series embedded UHF RAIN RFID module. With very low power
consumption, it is ideal for battery-operated, low cost, small
form-factor portable readers. ThingMagic Nano’s wide RF output
range (0 dBm to +27 dBm) is important for the read/write
requirements for RFID-enabled printers and tag commissioning
stations.
ThingMagic Nano features a surface mount package designed
for the efficiency of SMT manufacturing, driving down the total
cost for embedding RFID in volume applications. It is ideal for
handheld devices, consumables authentication, device
configuration and access control.
ThingMagic Nano is supported by ThingMagic API.
Applications:
• Medical Equipment for Healthcare and
Pharmaceutical Industries
• Kiosks and Vending Machines
• Mobile Devices, including Printers, Handhelds, and
Sensor Networks
• Tag Commissioning Stations
• Battery-operated
• Smartphone Accessories
