ORLANDO, Fla., May 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ:
TRMB) introduced today a new UHF RFID reader module supporting
Radio Frequency (RF) requirements for Japan, Israel
and China—the ThingMagic® M6e-JIC module.
The announcement was made at RFID Journal Live 2016.
The M6e-JIC module, based on the industry-leading M6e module, is
a small 1 Watt, 4-port UHF RFID reader module that delivers leading
performance and significant time-to-market advantages to original
equipment manufacturers (OEM), value added resellers (VAR) and
solution providers looking to add RFID to existing product lines or
designing and building new solutions from the ground up. The reader
module includes the RF circuit design and the protocol support for
EPC Global Gen 2V2 ISO 18000-63 standards. The module reads up to
750 tags per second at distances over 9 meters (30 feet) when
configured with appropriate antennas.
"The M6e-JIC builds on the leading performance users have
experienced from ThingMagic," said Brett
Humphrys, general manager of Trimble's ThingMagic Division.
"The module's extensive feature set, small size and performance
provide developers more latitude when creating high-performance
RFID-enabled solutions. A growing number of companies are looking
to incorporate RFID into their products and solutions; the M6e-JIC
can make this possible by supporting the RF requirements in more
geographic areas."
The ThingMagic embedded RFID modules have been integrated into
solutions across several markets including automotive, healthcare,
industrial automation, manufacturing, and retail. Expanding this
broad industry and application support, the M6e-JIC is designed to
the standards of full size RFID readers, but is small and efficient
enough to be used in a wide variety of mobile applications.
Availability
The M6e-JIC UHF RFID module is expected to be available in
June 2016 through Trimble's
Technology Sales Group (http://www.trimble.com/tsg/) and the
Technology Sales Group's network of channel partners worldwide.
