Active RFID Readers

Bluetooth LE Devices Gateways

 

 

EMPRESS™ is a series of active RFID readers and transponders, enabled by Nordic Semiconductor, nRF51822 series, a Low Power 2.4GHz transmitter and receiver solution; it supports BTLE (BT4.0 or above, Bluetooth Smart), and 2.4GHz proporietory protocol. 

 

The lastest version - Empress EM02 Series Readers are single external antenna, networked receiver for indoor IoT (internal of things), Clouded Beacon Bridging, BTLE gateway, or Sensor data gathering applications; FCC and CE certificates are acquired via TUV. (FCC ID: XNO-HKRAR-EM02)

 

Empress EM02 reader also has internal adaptor slot ready for Embedded Linux Module Plug-n-play, such as Raspberry Pi Compute Module as option, ideal for opensource projects and IoT gateway applications.

 

 

 

Depends on the type of network connection and applications, the readers are divided into following models:-
