Description
The DeskID UHF v2 is a compact RFID reader/writer working at 868 MHz (ETSI/EU version) or 902 – 928 MHz (FCC/USA version). Its main use is to read and write data to EPC Gen 2 transponders directly from your PC or mobile device. The DeskID UHF is a handy tool for all kind of RFID applications like testing tags, writing an EPC, or just debugging your UHF gate. The slim, well-designed housing fits on every desktop and is connected to the host using a normal USB-C cable (included). This is also used to power the device (no separate power supply necessary). Thanks to the new E310 Reader IC from Impinj used in the device, the read range is between 10 and 80 cm, depending on the type of transponder used. You can also read up to 50 transponders simultaneously with the integrated anti-collision mode. With the help of the ReaderControl 3 software from Metratec which is free to download from the manufacturer website, supported transponders can be read and written to. There you can also find different programming libraries for Java, .NET, and Python, which you can use to write your own applications in a short time without prior knowledge of RFID.
