UHF | RAIN - RFID Reader Impinj - R700 / R720

The Impinj R700 sets new benchmarks in the field of UHF | RAIN RFID and ranks among the most powerful RFID readers in its class. Designed as a modern UHF RFID reader, it has been purpose-built for demanding, high-density environments where maximum read accuracy, long read ranges, and consistent performance are critical. Thanks to its excellent receive sensitivity and extremely fast tag acquisition of up to 1,100 transponders per second, this industrial RFID reader is ideally suited for applications such as inventory and stock management, inbound and outbound goods control at dock doors, and transparent, automated supply chains. Organizations benefit from reliable identification even with large tag populations, challenging RF conditions, and metal-rich environments—delivering a clear advantage for industrial RFID projects with high requirements for scalability and long-term future readiness.

As a high-performance UHF long-range reader, the Impinj UHF reader stands out with its advanced RF design, enabling stable and wide-area coverage. Even in environments affected by interference, multipath propagation, or high RF density, read performance remains consistently high. Four monostatic antenna ports provide maximum flexibility in system design, while support for the latest EPCglobal UHF Gen2v2 and ISO 18000-63 standards ensures broad compatibility with common RFID transponders. This makes the Impinj RFID reader ideally suited for industrial RFID applications in logistics, manufacturing, automotive, healthcare, retail, and security-critical environments where robust hardware and reliable data capture are essential.

From a technology perspective, the Impinj R700 is built on a secure, enterprise-grade Linux platform, providing a stable foundation for modern IoT and Industry 4.0 scenarios. Its powerful processor architecture, combined with generous memory resources, enables the processing of large volumes of data directly on the device. Native support for IoT protocols such as MQTT, gigabit Ethernet connectivity, PoE and PoE+ power supply, and versatile USB interfaces ensure seamless integration into existing IT and OT infrastructures. In combination with extensions such as the RFID Antenna Hub, up to 32 read zones can be implemented—making it ideal for complex RFID installations with high port density. As a result, this RFID reader functions not only as a data capture device but as an intelligent hub for edge computing and cloud-based applications.
