R700 UHF RFID Reader

Description

The Impinj R700 is a high-performance RAIN RFID reader designed to deliver enterprise-grade reliability and advanced security, serving as the direct successor to the Speedway family. It stands out for its simplified IoT interface and significantly enhanced processing power for embedded applications.

Its architecture is designed to maximize operational efficiency, providing fast and accurate reads even in complex, high-density tag environments. The optimized performance enables greater process visibility and helps increase productivity across logistics, industrial, retail, and asset management operations.

With advanced integration capabilities, it supports the development of custom applications through modern interfaces and developer-friendly tools. Its powerful onboard processing capacity allows applications to run directly on the device, reducing reliance on external systems and accelerating real-time decision-making.

Ideal for distribution centers, RFID portals, asset tracking, industrial automation, smart retail, and other applications that require high performance, scalability, and security in enterprise environments.

Characteristics
  • Enhanced reception sensitivity: enables faster and more accurate readings with lower transmission power to better control the reading zone;
  • Powerful edge processing: supports intelligent RAIN tag processing algorithms directly on the reader;
  • Simple IoT device interface: easily connects IoT applications to configure, control, and consume RAIN data, with native MQTT support;
  • Secure and updatable Linux operating system: provides enterprise-grade security and reliability;
  • Fast Gigabit Ethernet connectivity: provides high-speed network connectivity and up to 10× more processing power than previous generations;
  • Advanced support for peripherals and accessories: offers versatility, including support for up to 32 antennas, to seamlessly integrate the reader into customized IoT solutions.
