Description
The UHF Desktop RFID Reader and Writer USB Tag Programmer (Model: PRD_HW_UHF_DESKTOP) is a compact, high-precision RAIN UHF desktop reader, tag encoder, and issue station engineered for warehouse shipping desks, retail POS checkout counters, jewelry inventory registration, document tracking, and enterprise asset tagging. Powered by an integrated high-performance RAIN UHF engine and short-range near-field antenna, this desktop programmer encodes and verifies UHF tags safely at the operator desk without accidentally reading neighboring tags in the room.
1. Near-Field Precision Antenna & Zero-Cross-Read Physics
Standard UHF antennas have wide beams that read tags up to 10 meters away, making desktop tag programming prone to cross-reading adjacent stock. The PRD_HW_UHF_DESKTOP features an engineered shielded near-field ceramic antenna with software-adjustable output power (0 to +26 dBm), restricting the read zone strictly to 5 cm to 50 cm directly above the pad.
2. Dual USB HID Keyboard & High-Speed Developer SDK Modes
The device connects via USB and supports dual operation: USB HID Keyboard Emulation Mode (types scanned EPC or TID data into web portals or ERPs without drivers) and Direct SDK Command Mode (allows bulk writing of EPC memory, password locking, and TID serialization in C#, Python, Java, and web apps). Operating across 860 MHz to 960 MHz, it is fully certified for Indian WPC 865–867 MHz regulations.
