Indy R1000 Reader Chip—Features and Benefits
The highly integrated Indy reader chips and supporting software deliver the building blocks for a full range of UHF Gen 2 RFID readers, from short-range embedded modules to long-range dock door readers.
The Indy R1000 reader chip:
Incorporates complete UHF Gen 2 standard transmit, receive, demodulation, and baseband functions
Integrates up to 90% of the components in a discrete reader design, providing for significantly smaller reader designs
Lowers design complexity, cuts manufacturing costs, and increases reliability
Enables longer battery life for handheld readers, power over USB for short range readers, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) for high performance, long range readers
Supports EPCglobal Gen 2 and ISO-18000-6C specifications, regional regulatory requirements and the full 840-960 MHz band
Supports low-level diagnostics, remote management and provisioning, and easy integration
Includes protocol firmware, programming tools, radio drivers and schematics to enable quick time-to-market
Indy R2000 Reader Chip—Adding Performance
The Indy R2000 reader chip addresses challenging RFID applications. It advances the R1000 design with:
Enhanced read accuracy and range via carrier cancellation technology
Increased protocol configurability and access to advanced radio features
Improved transmit phase noise to ease support for global regulatory requirements
