Nordic ID FR22 User Guide
Version 1.0
GETTING STARTED
1.1.
GENERAL
The Nordic ID FR22 is the core device of a new approach for RFID fixed systems with a modular design.
It can enable different use cases for different segments depending which modules or accessories are
attached to it.
The Nordic ID FR22 is an IoT Edge Gateway providing USB, Ethernet, WLAN, 4G, GPS, BLE and RFID
connectivity.
It also has an embedded computer with Linux OS and connection to HDMI display, what enables
installation and operation of 3rd party applications and makes the system much more scalable and
manageable than conventional RFID readers.
•
Fast and reliable edge computing with support for custom embedded applications
•
Wide communication options that enable flexibility in system designing and no need for external
connectivity hardware
•
New UHF RFID engine based on the very latest technology, Nordic ID NUR3-1W
•

ANTENNAS AND ACCESSORIES
The Nordic ID FR22 needs external RFID antennas to operate. It can work with any standard UHF RFID
antenna, but we suggest using Nordic ID RAIN RFID antennas.
Nordic ID antenna portfolio includes two exclusive antennas for Nordic ID FR22:
•
Nordic ID GA30, a general-purpose antenna with high gain and IP rating, that allows the Nordic
ID FR22 to be mounted behind it to create an integrated RFID antenna solution.
•
Nordic ID BFA, a beam-forming antenna for special applications that require reading tags in large
areas or detection of movement and direction. This antenna is connected to the Nordic ID
Extension Port in Nordic ID FR22 instead of SMA ports.
Model and quantity (up to 4 without multiplexer or up to 16 with multiplexer) of antennas depend on the
use case.
