Description
The Chainway UR1A is a fixed UHF RFID reader that combines the reader and antenna in one housing. Chainway describes it as a single-channel reader built on a self-developed module using Impinj E Series chips, with support for Impinj Gen2X.
Because the antenna is integrated, installation is simpler than a separate reader, cable and antenna set. Chainway lists it for warehousing, archives, library and banking use, and for production line management.
Reading performance
The UR1A supports EPC global UHF Class 1 Gen 2 and ISO 18000-6C tags. Chainway lists a fastest read rate of 1300+ tags/sec, receive sensitivity below -84 dBm and RSSI reporting. Output power is 1 W (30 dBm, adjustable from +5 to +30 dBm), with an optional 2 W (33 dBm) version for regions such as Latin America.
Antenna choices
Two integrated antenna versions are listed, both right-hand circular polarised. The 9 dBi version has a 60° horizontal and 55° vertical beam, and the 6 dBi version has a wider 105° horizontal and 95° vertical beam. The 9 dBi unit measures 270 x 270 x 77 mm and weighs 2230 g, and the 6 dBi unit measures 130 x 130 x 60 mm and weighs 620 g.
Interfaces and power
Communication is over RS-232, RJ45 (Ethernet) and GPIO, with a 115200 bps baud rate. Power is DC 12 V, PoE (802.3af, 13 W) or PoE+ (802.3at, 25.5 W). Tell us your frequency region and antenna choice when you request a quote, as the reader covers 865-868 MHz, 920-925 MHz and 902-928 MHz.
