Description
The Chainway U300 is a high-performance fixed RFID reader that runs the Android 11 operating system on a 2.0GHz quad-core CPU. Because the reader is itself an Android device, it can process data on site.
It is based on Impinj E Series chips and supports Impinj Gen2X. Chainway lists a read rate of 1300+ tags/sec and offers the reader with 4 or 8 antenna ports, so you can match the antenna count to a dock door, conveyor or cabinet.
Chainway publishes no part number or price, so we quote against your port count and region.
UHF performance and antennas
The reader works in the 865-868MHz, 920-925MHz and 902-928MHz bands and supports EPC global UHF Class 1 Gen 2 / ISO 18000-6C. Output power is 1W (30dBm, adjustable from +5 to +30dBm) with POE or DC power, and an optional 2W (33dBm, adjustable from +10 to +33dBm) is listed for Latin America and similar regions with POE+ or DC power. Antennas connect through RP-TNC female connectors; 6dBic and 9dBic are among the supported types.
Interfaces and power
The U300 provides 1 x RS-232, 1 x RJ45, 1 x USB Host and 1 x USB Device, plus an HDMI Type A output that supports 720p video. It also has 4 isolated inputs and 4 isolated outputs. Power can come from DC (10V-24V input), PoE (802.3af, 13W) or PoE+ (802.3at, 25.5W).
Android platform
With Android 11 and a Java SDK for Eclipse or Android Studio, developers can write applications that run on the reader. Wireless options include IEEE 802.11 b/g/n (2.4G) and Bluetooth 4.0, alongside 10/100 Base-T Ethernet.
