UHF | RAIN - RFID Reader Module CAEN - Lepton-x1 TTL

The CAEN RFID Lepton x1 series represents high-performance and compact UHF | RAIN RFID reader modules that have been specifically developed for use in professional OEM and embedded systems. As an industrial-grade RFID OEM reader, the series provides an ideal foundation for manufacturers seeking to integrate UHF RFID OEM readers directly into their own devices. The Lepton3x1, Lepton7x1, and Lepton9x1 variants cover different performance classes and allow precise adaptation to applications with varying requirements in terms of read range, reading speed, and power consumption. Thanks to their connector-based design, these modules position themselves as highly integration-friendly RFID reader modules, reducing development time while offering maximum flexibility in mechanical design and system architecture. Companies looking for a reliable UHF reader for series products or customized solutions benefit from a mature platform with strong market acceptance.

At the core of the Lepton x1 modules is a UHF architecture based on proven Impinj RAIN RFID chipsets. The Lepton3x1 is built on the Impinj E310, while the Lepton7x1 and Lepton9x1 use the more powerful E710 and E910 respectively. These chipset generations ensure fast, stable, and repeatable tag acquisition, even in environments with high tag density or challenging RF conditions. With an RF output power of up to 30 dBm, the UHF RFID reader modules achieve read ranges of more than ten meters. High receiver sensitivity enables reliable identification of even small or unfavorably positioned RFID transponders. As a result, the modules are ideally suited as industrial RFID readers for applications such as warehouse and inventory management, logistics, automated material handling, access control systems, and mobile data capture solutions. Across all these use cases, the Lepton x1 modules deliver consistent performance and high read accuracy.

A key advantage of the CAEN RFID reader modules lies in their mechanical and electrical ease of integration. Unlike traditional SMD-based modules, the Lepton x1 readers rely on a pluggable interface that is ideally suited for manual assembly, prototyping, and modular designs. This makes them particularly attractive for OEMs developing flexible product platforms or smaller production runs. Thanks to their compact form factor, the modules can be easily integrated into single-antenna readers, handheld devices, or space-constrained embedded systems. The extended supply voltage range also allows direct operation from battery packs, simplifying use in mobile and vehicle-mounted solutions. Typical applications for these UHF OEM readers include industrial automation, healthcare, defense and security, as well as specialized IoT systems where reliability and compact size are critical factors.
