RE40 RFID MODULE

RE40 RFID Module

The easy way to integrate Zebra’s industry-leading RFID technology

Easily and cost-effectively add Zebra’s advanced RFID capabilities into your products with Zebra’s first highly-integrated OEM RFID
UHF module, the RE40. This system in package (SIP) solution provides everything you need to make every aspect of integrating RFID
into your products as simple as possible — from manufacturing and design to testing and certification. The result? Fast integration for
a fast time-to-market. Easy firmware updates for longer product lifecycles. And devices that set the bar for simplified management.

Simple device deployment — no expertise required

Zebra’s 123RFID Desktop no-cost utility makes it easy to configure
and manage your RFID-enabled devices. An intuitive wizard presents
easy-to-understand options in drop-down menus, radio buttons
and sliders that let you simply click your way through set up. And
with built-in help and how-to videos, practically any question can
be answered right inside the tool.

Two variants to meet diverse needs

The RE40 is available as a SIP surface mount module or SIP module
mounted on a PCB for easier integration. The SIP surface mount
module is available in two packaging formats: a tray for small
quantities and Tape and Reel to support high volume manufacturing.

Industry-leading radio technology

Get peak reliable RFID performance for reading and writing with
superior radio sensitivity, an echo-cancellation noise reducing circuit
and powerful software for a wide variety of applications. The RE40
supports Dense Reader Mode (DRM) operation and high speed
reading of up to 250 tags per second.

Tiny size fits in virtually any product

As one of the smallest RFID chip modules in this class, the RE40
can fit on the most space constrained boards in the most space
constrained products — ideal for fixed and portable applications.

Rugged

Shock testing and a wide temperature range from subzero to
extreme heat ensures reliable operation in many environments.

Lightning fast development

The Development Kit Radio Engine (DKRE) allows you to rapidly test the
RE40 RFID capabilities and develop RFID applications. This kit contains
every thing you need to get started and even read tags in minutes. The
kit includes: a development board with two RF ports, a serial and USB
port and a power connection; antennas; RF, USB and power cables;
sample tags; a Quick Start Guide; USB drive; and RF modules.

Low power consumption

Support for a wide operating voltage range and lower power
consumption are ideal for portable applications.

Field upgradeable

Easily update firmware to add features, updates and more, improving
device performance, extending device lifecycle and increasing the
return-on-investment for your RE40 RFID-enabled devices.

Worldwide compliance

RE40 solutions are fully tested for world wide compliance and meet
regulatory requirements, enabling fast time-to-market and lowering
development risks for integration.

Ideal for a wide range of products

Get the versatility to embed RFID quickly, easily and cost-eectively
into a wide range of equipment, including medical devices, carts
and cabinets, kiosks, commercial refrigeration, access control, smart
lockers, robots, vending machines, tool cribs, casino terminals and
tables, ticketing systems, printers, sleds and POS terminals.

The RE40 — the quick, easy and cost-effective way to empower

your products with Zebra’s advanced RFID capabilities.
