Smart Passive Sensors : SPS UHF Reader Hub SPSPRDR1-8 The SPS UHF Reader hub is designed to enable optimized system performance for applications using ON Semiconductor Smart Passive Sensors powered by Magnus technology. The SPS reader hub is www.onsemi.com compatible with the UHF EPC global Gen 2 UHF standard. The reader hub supports up to 8 reader antennas connected through standard RPSMA coaxial connections. RF output power is adjustable from 5 dBm to 30 dBm in 0.5 dBm increments, and the reader supports read rates of up to 100 tags/second and 1 SPS read/second. Maximum read range is 9m when used with appropriate antennas in free space. The reader supports all UHF RFID bands residing between 860930 MHz. The SPSPRDR1 8 is powered by a Quadcore 64bit ARM Cortex processor, with on board memory and removable flash storage. The reader also includes connectivity through Ethernet and microUSB on the back of the device. Features Compatible with EPC Global Gen2 UHF Standard SPS UHF Reader / Hub Server Support for all UHF RFID bands CASE MODGM Adjustable RF Output Power up to +30 dBm 8 RF antenna ports supported Connectivity through microUSB, Wired Ethernet ORDERING INFORMATION Table 1.
