SparkFun RFID Module – M6E-NANO

SparkFun RFID Module – M6E-NANO is a small form factor embedded UHF RFID option with very low power consumption. It’s ideal for battery-operated, low-cost, small-form-factor portable readers. The M6E-Nano’s wide RF output range (0dBm to +27 dBm) is important for the read/write requirements for RFID-enabled printers and tag commissioning stations. This module features a surface mount package designed for the efficiency of SMT manufacturing. It drives down the total cost for embedding RFID in volume applications, including handheld devices, consumables authentication, device configuration, and access control.
