Best RFID Passive UHF Reader, Module

The Mercury family of embedded RFID reader module family from ThingMagic

ThingMagic has designed extremely versatile RFID reader modules that really allow you to RFID-enable just about any device. These modules are already embedded into a wide range of form factors and applications, including ThingMagic’s own stationary RFID readers.  Moving beyond traditional, one size fits all RFID solutions, that there are several stationary and mobile printers from Zebra Technologies, a printer drawer assembly offered by Lexmark, an ultra-thin portal and a ruggedized reader designed developed by Venture Research, a number of handheld devices offered by several of their customers such as PanMobil’s SCANNDYgun.  There is also used a ruggedized tool tracking solution called Tool Link – based on ThingMagic’s Vega reader - which they developed with Ford Motor Company and tool maker DeWALT.

We not only like how well designed the modules are, but ThingMagic also offers accessories such as a multiplexer, power/interface board, and heatsink. The development kit contains all the components necessary to begin reading and writing RFID tags. ThingMagic definately earns a Best-in-class for the M5e family.
