Impinj Speedway Revolution R420 RFID Reader

Ensuring RFID Success Automatically

Did you define your RFID deployment carefully? Did you think of every scenario, anticipate all the ways the system could break and what to do when that happened? And it worked beautifully in the lab, but then the real world threw you some curve balls?

Perhaps you designed your system for cases and pallets. But now you want to track items too? Maybe you desire expert RFID performance but don't have an RFID expert? Do you want a system that will continue to function well, even as your business grows and changes?

Impinj's latest fixed reader, the Speedway® Revolution, solves these situations and more. It builds upon the industry-leading reputation of the original Speedway with new innovations to raise the performance bar even higher. Best of all, the Autopilot features ease deployment and maintenance.

Autopilot

RF interference, tag quantity, ambient RF noise, and even building materials near an RFID installation all affect system performance. Most users configure their readers for worst case scenarios, often compromising best performance in the process. With the Speedway Revolution's Autopilot, innovative firmware features work together, automatically optimizing the reader operation to its environment delivering peak performance at all times.

Autoset continuously optimizes the reader's configuration for the best, most reliable performance. The Speedway Revolution senses levels of RF noise and interference, automatically selecting the appropriate settings.

Low duty cycle reduces RF interference, power consumption, and energy costs. The Speedway Revolution only transmits when tags are in the field, helping to clear the air of unnecessary RF noise.

Dynamic antenna switching improves throughput and helps the reader work more efficiently. Speedway Revolution senses where tags are in the field and automatically focuses more time on the antennas with the largest tag populations in view. For example, if a low-height pallet follows taller pallets through a portal, the Speedway Revolution reduces time spent on antennas in the upper positions.

And the Speedway Revolution improves upon the advanced hardware capabilities which made the original Speedway the reader of choice for many demanding customers capabilities such as best receive sensitivity, interference rejection, and item-level carrier cancellation.

Expanding Options, Reducing Costs

With its compact form factor and support for new features such as Power over Ethernet (PoE) and Sierra Wireless cellular modem connectivity, the Speedway Revolution delivers increased application and deployment flexibility. PoE simplifies deployment and dramatically reduces cost by eliminating the need for AC outlet installation at read points. Made possible by the Speedway Revolution's low power consumption, PoE reduces operating costs as well as green house gas (GHG) emissions without compromise. Speedway Revolution delivers the full 30 dBm of transmit power and the highest read performance available even with PoE operation.

Native support for Sierra Wireless AirLink PinPoint XT and AirLink Raven XT cellular modems opens up new deployment and application models by enabling GSM or CDMA connectivity to the Internet through your preferred cellular carrier. Application examples include remote read points where wired connectivity is not feasible nor cost effective, enabling services and solutions where connecting to the local enterprise network is too cumbersome, or mobile service and delivery vehicles. With Sierra Wireless AirLink PinPoint XT, Speedway Revolution also provides Global Positioning System (GPS) location of the reader along with each tag read.
