A locally designed module simplifies RFID integration for automation, tracking, and identification systems, reducing reliance on imported reader hardware.
Chipset
RapidRadio has introduced the RRUHFOEM03, an indigenously designed UHF RFID reader writer OEM module built around Impinj’s latest E series chipset, targeting engineers developing embedded RFID solutions across automation, tracking, and identification use cases.
At its core, the module operates in the Indian UHF band of 865 to 867 MHz and supports the ISO 18000-6C / EPC Class 1 Gen 2 protocol. It offers software adjustable RF output power up to 30 dBm and delivers a read range of up to 15 meters, depending on tag selection and antenna configuration. An onboard MMCX connector allows flexible integration with a wide range of external UHF antennas.
For system designers, integration is handled through a UART (TTL) interface, enabling direct connectivity with microcontrollers and single board computers. The module also includes onboard LEDs for power indication and tag read activity, simplifying debugging during development and field deployment.
From a hardware perspective, the board measures 104 × 60 × 3.25 mm, weighs approximately 14 grams, and operates on a 5 V DC supply within a temperature range of 0 to 65 degrees Celsius. These specifications position it for use across industrial and semi rugged environments.
The company complements the hardware with a complete SDK and documentation package. The included auto inventory firmware streams tag data directly to the host system, eliminating the need for continuous polling and reducing development overhead. Firmware and hardware customisation options are available, along with integration support through deployment, making the module suitable for both first time RFID implementations and scaled industrial systems.
