About the IM11

The Intermec IM11 RFID Reader Module is designed for quick integration into computers, printers, and any other products that need to be RFID-enabled. The IM11 includes these features:

• Allows the RFID-enabled product to read and write to tags used in

most worldwide applications:

• The IM11 can comply with the regulatory requirements for

• The IM11 cannot comply with regulatory requirements for

• Operates across the entire frequency band. The country code

defines the frequency bands of operation, the power levels, the hop tables, and other country-specific parameters. The default country code is defined by the location where the module is delivered.

• Covers UHF bands from 865 to 928 MHz. Supports four channel

operation over the 865 to 868 MHz band.

• Supports 50 channels in the FCC band from 902 to 928 MHz.

ETSI 4 channels in Europe, USA, Taiwan, Australia, Thailand, Brazil, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, China, Philippines, South Africa,Israel, South Korea, and New Zealand. For the latest, contact your Intermec sales representative.

Japan.

• Supports the ISO 18000-6c protocol (EPC Class 1, Gen 2)

• Supports the BRI (Basic Reader Interface) host communication

protocol.
