1 INTRODUCTION
Product Description
The Slate (Model R1260UB), the new desktop reader of the easy2read© Family, is an UHF RFID reader with integrated
antenna for short range applications.
The Slate Reader is powered and controlled directly by an USB cable, thus allowing to read EPC Class 1 Gen 2 UHF RFID
tags in an easy desktop environment.
Thanks to its low profile (15 mm) and its size (approximately an A4 page), the Slate reader is the perfect choice for
various applications such as point-of-sales, document tracking, RFID programming stations, access control and so on. It
can be used as a building block for smart shelves and smart displays.
The core component of the Slate is the new CAEN RFID Quark module, the smallest and lowest power consuming
module available on the market.
