MB300
Part of the MB series
Multiregional RAIN RFID module with +27 dBm and 250 tags/s
The MB300 is a 32 x 36 x 4 mm RAIN RFID module on an Impinj Ex10 chip. Software sets the band within 865 to 928 MHz, so one hardware variant serves many regions. Up to +27 dBm, -75 dBm sensitivity, 250 tags/s.
You make equipment and want to add RFID to your own device, such as a handheld, a smart shelf or a refrigerator. A 32 x 36 x 4 mm module, +27 dBm, 250 tags/s.
Need more range or 700 tags/s? The MB500 reaches +30 dBm. Need a finished reader to install? Choose the EM300.

Questions we hear
Does it work in any country?
Software sets the band within 865 to 928 MHz, so one hardware version serves many regions. It is FCC and Anatel certified.
What do I need to run it?
A 5 V supply and antennas on its four MMCX ports. It has its own dual-core MCU, or you can drive it from a host. Identix does not supply tags.
