product line, are ultra compact readers for low power, high performance RAIN RFID applications.
With programmable output power from 10 dBm to 30 dBm, the readers can detect tags at more than 5 m
of distance (depending on antenna and tag dimensions).
Due to their low power consumption, the modules are specifically designed to be easily integrated in
battery powered devices.
The radio frequency core of the modules is based on the Impinj E710 IC that permits to achieve fast reading
speed and to be used in dense reader and dense tag environments for top-class rated performances.
The compactness of the devices allows to embed the Lepton
7
x1 and Lepton
7
x4 inside industrial handhelds,
smartphone accessories and other compact form factor devices.
The Lepton
7
x1 and Lepton
7
x4 comply with and can operate in both European and US regulatory
environments and, thanks to their multiregional capabilities, they are ideal for integration in devices
requiring compliance to different geographical regions.
The Lepton
7
x1 and Lepton
7
x4 are designed on the basis of the Lepton
7
with the aim to facilitate the
integration for those who prefer to use connectors instead of automatic manufacturing required by the
SMD form factor. In addition, Lepton
7
x4 is a turnkey solution for systems requiring up to 4 antenna ports.
