CAEN - Lepton-x4 USB

In demanding identification and automation scenarios where multiple read zones must be covered reliably within a compact system footprint, high-performance UHF | RAIN RFID reader modules with multiple antenna ports are a critical success factor. The CAEN RFID Lepton x4 USB reader modules, available as Lepton3x4 USB, Lepton7x4 USB, and Lepton9x4 USB, are specifically designed for professional RFID OEM reader applications that require high read performance, flexible antenna concepts, and straightforward system integration. As part of the established easy2read product line, these CAEN RFID reader modules combine industrial-grade RF performance with an extremely compact form factor and a native USB interface. This makes them an ideal choice for OEMs and system integrators developing scalable UHF OEM reader solutions for industrial, logistics, security, and access control applications. Their modular design enables seamless integration into custom devices and provides a future-proof foundation for high-performance UHF RFID OEM reader systems.

At the technical core of the Lepton x4 USB series is a modern RF architecture based on proven Impinj RAIN RFID chipsets E310, E710, and E910, allowing different performance levels depending on the module variant. With a programmable RF output power of up to 30 dBm, these CAEN UHF readers enable reliable tag detection at distances exceeding ten meters, depending on antenna configuration, transponder type, and environmental conditions. High receiver sensitivity ensures fast inventory cycles and stable read rates even in dense tag environments where many RFID transponders must be read simultaneously. As a result, the Lepton x4 USB modules are ideally suited for applications that demand precise, fast, and repeatable identification. For developers of RFID reader systems, this translates into maximum performance combined with a high degree of design reliability.

A key differentiating feature of the Lepton x4 USB modules is their four independent antenna ports, which allow the implementation of complex multi-read-point architectures using a single reader. This capability is particularly important for RFID gates, portal systems, conveyor-based identification, scan tunnels, and zone-controlled access solutions. By consolidating multiple read zones into one RFID reader module, overall system complexity, cabling effort, and hardware costs can be significantly reduced. The integrated USB Type-C interface further simplifies commissioning by providing both power supply and data communication through a single connection. This significantly accelerates development cycles and facilitates integration into industrial PCs, embedded controllers, and custom electronic platforms.

From an international deployment and long-term product strategy perspective, the CAEN RFID reader modules stand out due to their high standards compliance and regulatory flexibility. The modules fully support UHF | RAIN RFID standards such as EPC Class 1 Gen2 and ISO 18000-63, and they operate in both ETSI and FCC frequency bands, enabling global deployments based on a single hardware platform. Typical application areas range from industrial automation, warehouse and logistics systems, transportation and traffic solutions, and retail back-end processes to security-critical environments where multiple antennas and maximum read reliability are essential.
