RFID UHF sixteen-channel read-write module M2216

M2216 is a high-performance UHF read-write module developed by Xunyuan Technology with great concentration. It has 16 antennas polled at high speed, and the power and time can be configured independently to meet different coverage requirements. The maximum output power of the module can reach +30dBm, and with the 8dBi gain antenna, the reading distance can reach 20m, and the tag recognition rate greater than 800tags/s can be achieved.

The M2216 module is a sixteen-channel UHF read-write module based on IMPINJ’s second-generation RF chip R2000. It is a high-performance read-write module designed for highly challenging RFID application environments.

M2216 has been verified by a large number of tests and long-term uninterrupted work (180 consecutive days), and its stability and reliability can fully meet its use requirements. Equipped with 16-way SMA female antenna interface, it provides a standardized SDK development kit with rich functions, and users can develop according to project requirements in a short time.

The M2216 module is suitable for warehousing, logistics, clothing, production line management and other application environments that require high RFID intensive reading performance and are more challenging.
