Introduction to Speedway
Speedway®/Revolution (or Speedway/R) is a sta-
tionary, small form factor, UHF Gen 2 RFID tag
reader that provides network connectivity between
tag data and enterprise system software. Built on
the industry-leading quality, high performance,
and excellent reliability of Impinj's original
Speedway reader, Speedway/R includes a variety
of new features that increase its application flexi-
bility:
•
Low Power Consumption
With a low power consumption design, Speed-
way/R can utilize Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Using PoE simplifies deployment and dramatically reduces costs. Speedway/R does
not compromise on performance, however. Even when using PoE, the reader delivers
the full 30 dBm transmit power. Note that Speedway/R supports the IEEE standard
802.3af (for PoE).
•
Compact Form Factor
The compact size of Speedway/R (7.4 x 6.9 x 1.2 in) enables ease of installation in
tight spaces and embedded applications.
•
Availability of Two Models
Speedway/R offers two models, each with a different number of high performance
monostatic antenna ports. The R220 model is a two-port configuration (shown in the
above photograph), while the R420 is a four-port configuration.
•
High Performance Features
Speedway/R utilizes a variety of high performance features making it possible to read
up to 1150 tags per second. These features include Autoset, Low Duty Cycle, dynamic
antenna switching, and receive sensitivity filtering for read zone confinement.
