<h1>Long Range RFID: Revolutionizing Asset Tracking and Beyond</h1> <p><strong>Long Range RFID</strong> technology has fundamentally transformed how I manage inventory in my small business. The ability to identify and log dozens of items from several meters away, without direct line-of-sight, felt nothing short of magical when I first implemented it. This wasn't just a new tool; it felt like unlocking a latent skill for operational efficiency I never knew I had. My view is that passive UHF systems represent the most significant leap in automated data collection since the barcode.</p> <h2>Technical Deep Dive: UHF RFID Reader Modules</h2> <p>For a practical, <strong>long range RFID</strong> application, the core hardware is the reader module. Here are detailed technical specifications for a representative UHF RFID module, commonly used in gateways and handheld devices:</p> <h3>Key Technical Parameters & Specifications</h3> <h4>Physical and Interface Specifications</h4> <ul> <li><strong>Dimensions:</strong> 100mm (L) x 65mm (W) x 12mm (H)</li> <li><strong>Operating Frequency:</strong> 860 MHz ~ 960 MHz (Adjustable for FCC, ETSI, etc.)</li> <li><strong>Protocol Support:</strong> EPCglobal UHF Class 1 Gen 2 / ISO 18000-6C</li> <li><strong>Interface:</strong> USB, RS232, RS485, Weigand, GPIO</li> <li><strong>Power Supply:</strong> DC 9-12V / PoE (802.3af)</li> <li><strong>RF Power Output:</strong> Adjustable from 0dBm to 30dBm (1W)</li> </ul> <h4>Core Chipset and Performance Data</h4> <ul> <li><strong>Main Control Chip:</strong> Impinj R2000 or Equivalent (e.g., Alien Higgs-3)</li> <li><strong>Read Range:</strong> Up to 12 meters with a 6dBi circularly polarized antenna (dependent on tag and environment).</li> <li><strong>Tag Read Rate:</strong> > 200 tags per second</li> <li><strong>Operating Temperature:</strong> -20°C to +65°C</li> </ul> <p><em>Note: These technical parameters are for reference data.
