URA4 Fixed RFID Readers | Android 13

The configuration sheet lists a fastest read rate of 1300+ tags/sec, with receive sensitivity below -84dBm and RSSI reported on every read. Real throughput at your own site depends on the tags themselves, on the antenna gain you fit and on whatever else is radiating nearby, so treat 1300+ tags/sec as the ceiling of the engine rather than a number you should expect to see unchanged. Borrow a unit and measure it on your own stock before you write any number into a specification.

Output power is the only thing that separates them. The standard URA4 transmits 1W at 30dBm, adjustable from +5 to +30dBm, and runs from DC 12V or from a single POE drop rated 802.3af 13W. The optional 2W URA4 transmits 33dBm, adjustable from +10 to +33dBm, and needs DC or POE+ rated 802.3at 25.5W instead. Everything else is identical, including the four TNC antenna ports, the engine and the whole platform, so both configurations take one software image.

The engine is based on Impinj E Series chips and supports Impinj Gen2X. It reads EPC global UHF Class 1 Gen 2 and ISO 18000-6C tags across 865-868 MHz, 920-925 MHz and 902-928 MHz. On the computing side the unit runs Android 13 on an octa-core 2.0 GHz processor with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. Each of those names belongs to its own supplier, so you can pull up every datasheet without coming through us.

Firmware, the CedaGlo Software Development Kit and the Java sample code stay available for units already in the field, and the toolchain is Eclipse or Android Studio, both of which are ordinary Android tooling rather than anything proprietary to this reader. Production life, spare part supply years and warranty length are commercial terms rather than specifications, so they are confirmed in writing with the order.

The configuration sheet gives an operating temperature range of minus 25 degrees Celsius to 55 degrees Celsius, a storage range of minus 40 degrees Celsius to 85 degrees Celsius, and humidity from 5% to 95%. The body is aluminium alloy and the cooling mode is air cooling, so there is no fan to fail. Those are the design figures the manufacturer supplies. No ingress protection rating and no drop rating are claimed anywhere on this page, because no test report has been issued for either.

Android 13 runs on the reader itself, so your application executes locally and keeps working through a network outage, and the RJ45 port, the WLAN radio and the 4G radio give three separate routes back to the unit. A reset control sits on the bottom edge beside the POWER connector for local recovery. Repair routing, RMA turnaround and spare part terms are confirmed in writing with the order.
