Using the latest generation of Impinj silicon, read rates have been boosted up to 1200 tags per second. Multiple tag operations per tag are possible during an inventory scan – read multiple areas of each tag, or write to or even lock the tag. On reader de-duplication for 1 million transponders prevents overwhelming the connected host with information. Support has been added for passive sensor transponders (temperature, strain, humidity, acceleration) from HID and others – TSL can provide sample code demonstrating how to utilise these sensor transponders.

The increased efficiency of the new internal hardware gives longer operating times and more tags read in a single charge – up to a 34% increase in battery life compared to the previous generation 2166 Reader.
