UHF | RAIN - RFID Mobile Reader CAEN - fIDo

Mobile data capture and reliable long-range identification have become core requirements in logistics, industrial environments, service operations, and asset-intensive workflows. The CAEN UHF Mobile Reader fIDo R1307I has been specifically designed for these use cases and is positioned as a high-performance UHF | RAIN RFID reader for mobile applications. As a professional RFID mobile reader from the proven easy2read product line, fIDo transforms a standard smartphone into a fully featured RFID handheld. Thanks to its ergonomic sled design with an integrated antenna, users benefit from high read performance, secure handling, and maximum flexibility in daily operations. Organizations can continue to leverage their existing mobile devices while selectively extending them with professional UHF handheld reader functionality. This reduces capital expenditure, simplifies training processes, and significantly increases acceptance among mobile workers—an essential advantage for modern AutoID workflows.

At the technological core of the CAEN UHF Mobile Reader is a high-performance RF architecture based on the Impinj E710 RAIN RFID chipset. This platform enables fast inventory cycles, high tag read rates, and reliable detection even in environments with dense tag populations. As a result, fIDo is ideally suited for demanding UHF | RAIN RFID applications where read range, accuracy, and speed are equally critical. The strong RF performance is complemented by an integrated 5,200 mAh rechargeable battery, allowing the RFID reader to operate reliably throughout full work shifts. A key differentiator is the integrated wireless charging transmitter: when the fIDo is connected to a power source, the mounted smartphone is charged wirelessly without being removed from the sled. This ensures continuous availability of both the RFID handheld and the mobile device while minimizing unplanned downtime in day-to-day operations.

Connectivity is another area where the CAEN UHF Mobile Reader fIDo R1307I delivers outstanding flexibility. Communication is handled via Bluetooth, supporting both Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth Low Energy to accommodate different performance and power-consumption requirements. In addition, support for HID mode allows the RFID reader to operate as a keyboard emulator, transmitting RFID transponder data directly into existing applications. This significantly simplifies integration, particularly within established IT environments or legacy systems that lack native RFID support. The fIDo is compatible with Windows, Android, and iOS, making it an excellent choice for heterogeneous device strategies. Whether used with smartphones, tablets, PDAs, or PCs, this RFID mobile reader integrates seamlessly into a wide range of system architectures and provides OEMs and end users with a future-proof platform for mobile UHF | RAIN RFID applications.

From a mechanical perspective, the fIDo is purpose-built for professional field use. The integrated SP Connect SPC Plus adapter enables secure and stable attachment of a wide variety of smartphones using dedicated protective cases. This ensures ergonomic operation, high handling safety, and a reduced risk of accidental drops—even in demanding work environments. Typical application areas for this UHF handheld reader include inventory management, asset tracking, maintenance and service operations, logistics and warehouse applications, as well as mobile field service scenarios. The CAEN UHF Mobile Reader particularly excels in large facilities, outdoor areas, and distributed locations. The combination of long read range, rugged design, extended battery life, and seamless smartphone integration makes fIDo a powerful solution for modern mobile AutoID processes.
